Miss Y case detail for Cabinet

Health Minister Leo Varadkar was set to brief Cabinet colleagues today on the caesarian controversy involving a teenage immigrant that provoked outrage last month.

However, senior Government sources made it clear the discussion would be about the woman’s engagement with the HSE, and not the wider issues of abortion law.

“Whatever their positions, both parties have made it clear that there will be no changes to legislation, or other moves such as a referendum, before the next general election,” a senior source said.
