Daughter ‘living proof’ of Eighth’s value

Catherina O’Sullivan, a psychiatric nurse, from Tralee, Co Kerry, says her daughter is “living proof” that the Eighth Amendment should be retained.

Ms O’Sullivan is one of more than 130 nurses and midwives who came together in Dublin yesterday to call on the public to vote no in the referendum on May 25.

“Had there been an abortion clinic in Kerry, had there been a doctor handing out pills in Kerry, I could have easily had an abortion and told nobody,” she said.
