Patrick Nulty (Dublin West, Labour)

This is International Women's Day and I know of the Tánaiste's strong personal commitment to gender equality. In that context, will the Government bring forward legislation to deal with one of the long-standing abuses of human rights in terms of public health service access for women? Will it legislate for the judgment in the X case to ensure women in Ireland will have access to abortion facilities in cases where there is a threat to their lives?
