Together4Yes: No reason to delay abortion law

The Together4Yes campaign group has urged TDs and senators to hold “special sittings” over the summer break to ensure planned 12-week abortion access rules become law by the end of August.

Group co-ordinator Orla O’Connor said the “scale” of Friday’s landslide referendum result means there is no reason to delay the law any further, joining a growing chorus of calls for the Government to speed up its end-of-year timeline plan.

“I think given the scale of the vote, this vote has been phenomenal and people were voting on this legislation as well, so we want to see this progressed as quickly as possible,” said Ms O’Connor.
