Dr. Karena Hanley:

There are free post-abortion counselling services in Ireland. They can be accessed through a website, www.abortionaftercare.ie, which is funded by the HSE. This gives the woman a safe space in which to explore and articulate her feelings, whatever they may be, towards the experience that she has had. It is available to the woman even several years after the event, if necessary. Perhaps it is something that needs greater advertisement throughout the country, but the service is available.
