615. To ask the Minister for Health his views on whether it is acceptable that the National Women’s Council of Ireland, which is in receipt of significant State funding, openly campaigns for abortion here and refuses to represent the views of women who hold the opposing viewpoint, including women who regret their abortions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Deputy may wish to note that in 2013 the Health Service Executive has allocated €20,560 to the National Women's Council of Ireland to help develop a Gender Mainstreaming Policy and to deliver a specified work programme to promote women's health. I have no remit in relation to any other activity undertaken by this organisation.
