TD tells Dáil that family at centre of NMH termination case believe illegal abortion was carried out

A couple whose baby was aborted at the National Maternity Hospital after it was wrongly diagnosed as having a fatal foetal abnormality have claimed that an "illegal abortion" was carried out, a TD has told the Dáil.

Last month RTE revealed that the couple were advised that their baby had a fatal foetal abnormality based on the results of two of three tests that were carried out.
