    Abortion and Legislation - where the Politicians stand on legislating for abortion in the wake of the Galway tragedy.

    Abortion and Legislation - where the Politicians stand on legislating for abortion in the wake of the Galway tragedy.

    So has government inactivity on the issue of abortion created the medical ‘grey area’ that appears to exist in situations like the tragic death of Savita Halappanavar? In this morning’s Irish Independent, coloumnist, John Downing identifies the sheer lack of a political stance on abortion as the problem that has beset the issue for generations. Pat was joined by John Downing of the Irish Independent; Labour Senator Ivana Bacik; Billy Kelleher, Fianna Fail TD; Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin, Sinn Fein TD and Michelle Mulkerrin of Fine Gael.

    The Children's Referendum Result and Turnout.

    The Children's Referendum Result and Turnout.

    The Government will want to focus on the fact that the Children’s Referendum was passed by voters but it’s likely that opposition parties will have questions on how the campaign was handled by ministers and if they should be blamed in any way for the low turnout and the “tighter” than expected result.

    Medical Cards

    It emerged last week that nearly half of the population is in receipt of medical cards. As unemployment shows no sign of falling and times are not getting any easier for many, if not most families, this may not come as a shock to many. By the end of 2013 full medical and GP-only cards are expected to cost the taxpayer €2.5bn in medical fees and drugs costs. But can we afford to pay for 50% of the population to be on medical cards?

    Protection of Life in Pregnancy Bill

    Protection of Life in Pregnancy Bill

    The Government last night agreed the wording for proposed abortion legislation to give effect to the X-Case ruling. The name of the legislation was changed from the previously titled Protection of Maternal Life Bill to the Bill for the Protection of Life During Pregnancy. But will this new Bill assuage the Fine Gael Back benchers who are against legislating in the case of suicide or the TD’s who want more liberal laws in relation to abortion?
