Rogue crisis pregnancy agencies still operating

There are still a number of rogue crisis pregnancy agencies in operation despite a HSE crackdown, it has been claimed.

“We still get clients in who have had experiences with rogue agencies,” said Niall Behan, chief executive of the Irish Family Planning Association.

“There are at least two in Dublin and then there are some pop-ups around the country, that pop up and then disappear. They are run like a hot desk or from someone’s kitchen. They meet them online, they delay meeting and then they go out and meet at a designated place. The tactics are all the same — delay and then misinformation,” he added.
