Clare Daly details ‘inhuman’ fatal foetal abnormality case

A harrowing tale of a mother facing the loss of her baby due to a fatal foetal abnormality was told in the Dáil ahead of a vote on abortion legislation.

It has also emerged that Independent Alliance ministers have been told that their decision to defy cabinet collegiality and support an opposition bill on abortion will be a one-off.

Independent TD Clare Daly described an “inhuman” situation whereby an expectant mother knew her baby would not survive but was forced to go abroad for a termination.
