PQ 805
814 Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Health further to the report on the front page of a publication (details supplied) that he has sent a circular letter to his Fine Gael Party colleagues informing them that Ireland must bring in abortion along the lines of the X case, if he will make this letter available in public; the reason he reportedly said Ireland must legalise abortion when there is absolutely no prerogative on this Government to do so particularly in view of its pre election pro-life promise to the people of Ireland; his views on whether it is the Irish people, not any European court who should decide Ireland’s abortion laws; when the recommendations of the Government appointed expert group are due to be published; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
