Abortion laws could be in place by summer, signals Reilly

New abortion laws could be in place by the summer, Health Minister James Reilly has signalled.

A memo on looming legislation to comply with the X case ruling is to be brought to Cabinet next week.

The move came after Oireachtas health committee chairman, Jerry Buttimer, presented the minister with a 1,000-page report containing submissions presented to TDs and senators during three days of hearing last month, but does not contain any specific recommendations.
