Fianna Fáil position on abortion legislation

Summary

Senator O’Sullivan says his party will not play politics with the protection of life legislation and will act in the country’s best interests.

I call on that person to publish the information.

Senator Bacik referred rather fatuously to the forthcoming deliberations of the Fianna Fáil Party on the protection of human life during pregnancy Bill. Her comments were a little rich given the lengthy period of hand-wringing and conscience-wrestling by Members on the Government side, much of which took place on the Plinth. We have kept our powder fairly dry. As stated by Deputy Martin, we will not be playing politics with an issue of such importance but will do what is in the best interests of the country.
