Lucinda Creighton rules out role in abortion referendum

Lucinda Creighton has said she will not get involved in any campaign ahead of next year’s referendum on abortion.

The former Fine Gael minister lost the party whip in 2013 after she voiced major concerns around the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill and voted against the Government on it.

However Ms Creighton, who now runs her own consulting company, has ruled out becoming involved in any pro-life campaign in the lead-up to a vote on repealing the Eighth Amendment.
