Mulligan and Ó Néill are the authors of the article ‘Health Law: convergence and divergence on the island of Ireland’, which can be read here.
The authors identify the formation of health law north and south across public and private law and the constitutional, policy, and legislative changes that have shaped and re-shaped healthcare in both jurisdictions. Specifically, the implementation of laws north and south regarding healthcare rights and capacity law, the ability to consent and refuse medical treatment, the specific requirements, and interpretations of conscientious objection to abortion, discrimination and disability, and the development of criminal negligence law in both jurisdictions.
