Campaigner accuses Reilly of restricting expert group’s options
Prof William Binchy, a retired law lecturer, said legal issues were raised over how the expert group was tasked with making recommendations to implement a Supreme Court ruling allowing for abortion in the case of a suicide risk to the mother.
However, he claimed Dr Reilly had briefed the group to advise the Government on how to deal with a recent European Court of Human Rights ruling regarding Ireland’s abortion legislation.
