Citizens' Assembly to hear from both sides in debate on Eighth Amendment

Dr Joan McCarthy, a lecturer in Healthcare Ethics in the School of Nursing and Midwifery in University College Cork (UCC), presented a pro-choice perceptive to the assembly this morning.
Ailbhe Smyth, from the Coalition to Repeal the 8th, said Dr McCarthy's presentation highlighted the fact that Ireland's abortion laws go against the National Consent Policy of the Health Service Executive (HSE).
