Topical Issue Debate
Death of Ms Savita Halappanavar
3:30 pm

I respect the views of everybody in this House. They are entitled to their views, but what they are not allowed to do is obstruct or undermine the constitutional rights of citizens in this country. Where, as the Minister stated in his reply, there is a risk to the life of the mother and where a termination is feasible, it should be allowed. In this country we have failed to legislate for 20 years. I have one question for the Minister, namely, will he, as Minister for Health, legislate for the X case - yes or no?
