Labour pushing for vote on abortion to be 'well under way' by summer

Labour has put pressure on Fine Gael to have the process of a referendum on the Eighth Amendment “well under way” by the summer.

While Labour wants a referendum on repealing the Eighth Amendment, Fine Gael has only committed to holding a citizens’ assembly to discuss the issue.

Despite this, Labour has promised not only to hold a referendum but to win it and would be strongly campaigning for a yes vote.
