peer-reviewedAn advance care directive entitles a person to request in advance either the refusal of or consent to certain medical\udtreatment if that person is not competent to consent or refuse at the time such refusal or consent is required. The 2003 Law\udReform Commission’s Consultation Paper on Law and the elderly briefly mentioned advance directives. However, the paper\uddecided to leave the issue to a future paper that would give a more comprehensive analysis. There is no Irish legislation on\udthe matter and consequently the legal position is unclear. The English Mental Capacity Act 2005 has given recognition to\udadvance directives under section 24. It is interesting to note that only refusal is covered by the Act. The 2005 Law Reform\udCommission Consultation Paper on Vulnerable Adults discusses the issue of advance directives in more detail. This paper\udwill examine the Irish position of advance directives. The British Mental Capacity Act and recent case law will provide a\udcomparative analysis. The UN Convention on the Protection of the Rights and Dignity of Persons with Disabilities will also\udbe examined.PUBLISHEDNot peer reviewe
