Fianna Fáil backs judge-led commission to consider liberalising the abortion laws further

A judge-led commission should be set up to consider liberalising the abortion laws further, Fianna Fáil has said.

The main Opposition party responded to Taoiseach Enda Kenny’s suggestion this week that a forum or convention be set up to examine if a referendum should be held.

Director of elections Billy Kelleher said that this would be the party’s position in the run up to the general election.
