Citizens Assembly calls on Government to legislate for abortion

Ireland looks set to go to the polls on abortion.

The Citizens Assembly says the Government should legislate for abortion in a number of cases.

The group has held its final ballot to decide on their recommendations for the Oireachtas on the issue – most notably it’s recommended terminations should be permitted where the pregnancy is as a result of rape, in cases of fatal foetal abnormalities and where the woman’s life is at risk.

A report will now be prepared for the Government – with a referendum expected to be held as a result of its work.
