TD Carol Nolan quits Sinn Féin over abortion policy change

Suspended Sinn Féin TD Carol Nolan has reportedly quit the party over its change in abortion policy after officially handing in her resignation letter this morning.

Ms Nolan and fellow Sinn Féin TD Peadar Toibin had come under intense pressure in recent weeks to make a decision over whether to stay in the party or leave as both hold pro-life views that are in opposition to the party's new official abortion policy position.
