Kenny: I won’t be rushed on abortion issue

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said he will not be “rushed” on the abortion issue, despite James Reilly, the health minister, and Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore vowing action will not be delayed.

The Taoiseach struck a different tone from his colleagues, indicating the political difficulties of the emotive issue.

The three men have received copies of the report of the expert group on abortion, which the Cabinet will discuss on Nov 27.
