Abortion Rights Campaign ordered by SIPO to return George Soros grant

A group campaigning for the repeal of the constitutional amendment that prohibits abortion has confirmed it returned funding it received from an international organisation following correspondence with the ethics watchdog.

However, the Abortion Rights Campaign said that while it returned a funding grant from Open Society Foundation on advice from the Standards in Public Office, it does not agree with SIPO’s interpretation on the funding, writes Joe Leogue of the Irish Examiner.
