Care order for boy at centre of ‘Ms Y’ case

Case related to the controversy around the right to have abortion.

A renewed care order was granted yesterday in respect of the boy at the centre of the so-called ‘Ms Y’ case which related to the controversy about the right to have an abortion.

The judge made the care order to Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, until the boy, who is now aged almost three, turns 18. This was done at a hearing to review a two-and-a-half-year care order which the judge had made for the child in November 2014.
