Women in NI should be given same abortion access as those in Republic and UK - Taoiseach

Women in Northern Ireland should be given the same abortion access rights as their counterparts in the Republic and the UK, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said.

Speaking to reporters in Belfast 24 hours after the UK supreme court indicated a case taken by an individual on rape, incest and fatal foetal abnormality grounds would be successful, Mr Varadkar said it is not his role to intervene in Northern Ireland.
