What happens now as provisional abortion legislation revealed

After two decades and six governments, the provisional legislation giving effect to the X case ruling on when an abortion is permissible has been revealed.

But while Labour and Fine Gael have come to an agreed position on the heads of the bill the political wrangling on the issue is far from over.

The draft laws will now be the subject of a consultative process in the Oireachtas health committee which will meet privately to decide what format its hearings should take.
