No medicines indicated for the termination of pregnancy are authorised in Ireland.

It is illegal to procure an abortion in Ireland , whether by surgical, medication or other means, outside of the circumstances specified in the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act, 2013, which regulates access to lawful termination of pregnancy in accordance with the X case and the judgement in the European Court of Human Rights in the A, B and C v Ireland case.
