What is the Minister going to do about the comments at the UN Human Rights Committee which roundly condemned Ireland as contributing to the mental suffering of women by failing to address the abortion reality? These warnings tragically have been vindicated quickly in the horrific Miss X case which shows that the legislation the Government introduced last year does not give a woman whose life is in danger access to an abortion to which she is legally entitled. Is it time to repeal that legislation and the eight amendment to the Constitution as suggested by the United Nations?
