New crisis pregnancy service opens in west Cork

A NEW crisis pregnancy counselling service that will offer support and contraception to women of all ages was launched in west Cork yesterday.

The free service has been set up in Skibbereen to fill a major gap in the provision of crisis pregnancy services in the area.

The West Cork and Beara Women’s Network conducted research in 2003 which was followed by further research by the Crisis Pregnancy Agency (CPA) in 2004.
