On 14 May, the Irish Independent reported the Minister reiterating this promise when he stated: "We've specifically excluded disability for grounds for abortion in the legislation." On Newstalk, on 22 May, just days before people were asked to vote, he said the people are grappling with this question and they want to be sure they make the right decision. He said that he can tell the people clearly that he has specifically excluded disability as a ground for termination.
