No changes on abortion law, UN told
In a statement to deflect criticisms that the unresolved legal situation around abortion puts Irish women at a disadvantage, Equality Minister Frank Fahey said there were “few issues on which there has been greater national dialogue than this one.”
“All told, Ireland has held five separate referenda on three separate occasions on the issue of abortion. The Government has no plans to put further proposals in this regard to the people at this time,” he said.
