Amy Dunne, known then only as Miss D, also said that social workers advised her to stay in a psychiatric hospital when she turned to them for help.

A pregnant Irish teenager, termed 'Miss D', won her High Court battle in Dublin today to be allowed to travel to Britain to have an abortion.

The Attorney General today insisted there was nothing preventing a teenage girl fighting to travel to Britain for an abortion from doing so.

The District Court has refused to give 'Miss D' permission to travel to the UK for an abortion.

The High Court has heard from the girl at the centre of the 'Miss D' abortion case that she believes she should have the right to choose abortion.
