Eamon Gilmore: I’ll get involved in any abortion campaign

Former Labour leader Eamon Gilmore has said he expects to be involved in any likely campaign to change Ireland’s abortion laws and also remain active in the party.

The former tánaiste though also criticised the media for interfering in politicians’ private lives and said coverage of his own family would be something he would not forgive.

Mr Gilmore described his new work as the EU’s special peace envoy involved in the peace process in Colombia.
