Taoiseach: Oireachtas committee examining 8th amendment will be set up 'within fortnight'

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said the Oireachtas committee tasked with examining the wide-reaching Citizens' Assembly abortion recommendations will be set up within "the next week or fortnight".

However, he also said that "a lot of discussion" is needed before a referendum vote, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith of the Irish Examiner.
