Shocking admission by health spokesperson

LIKE many pro-lifers throughout the country, I was stunned by Olivia Mitchell’s attitude to the secrecy surrounding recent reports that the Midland Health Board had taken a teen mum and her unborn baby to England for an abortion.

Speaking on RTÉ, Ms Mitchell admitted she didn't know, and didn't want to know, about the case. She said that she "made a particular point of not trying to find out."

This is a shocking admission for any politician, but for a major party's spokesperson on health, it defies understanding.
