Seanad
‹ Order of Business Broadcasting and abortion-pill practices
Summary
Healy Eames defends her criticism of pro-choice agencies’ practices and questions whether comparable practices could properly be authorised for public broadcasting.

Gabh mo leithscéal, pro-choice agencies were recommending the abortion pill, but that was not taken as bona fide proof.
Comment on this
There are many questions to be answered. If those are lawful and good practices to be approved by the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources for use by the public service broadcaster, they can be used by every other agency in the country. I do not believe they are honourable practices.
