Abortion Proposals

Monday 22nd April

It emerged over the weekend that there are serious divisions between the governning parties in relation to the proposed legislation on abortion. The latest tension relates to a report yesterday which suggested that six doctors would be required to assess if a threat of suicide by a pregnant woman represented a "real and substantial risk to her life". Pat discusses this with Ciara Conway, Labour TD for Waterford; Mary Lou McDonald, Deputy Leader of Sinn Féin and Senator Ronán Mullen.
