Fianna Fáil leader to meet no-vote members

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin is to have individual meetings with TDs and senators who campaigned against repealing the Eighth Amendment in a bid to gain their support to legislate for abortion.

The Fianna Fáil parliamentary party last night met in Leinster House for the first time since the referendum.

More than half of Fianna Fáil’s TDs and senators had opposed the draft legislation put forward by the Government.
