Abortion Services Provision
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-03
============================================================

Seán Canney (IND), Galway East

I add my support in respect of this matter. The report is very frightening. The onus is on the Government and the Minister for Health to ensure that this report is examined. It is an independent report and it has not been commissioned by any particular group. The findings are horrific. I will not spell out the wording but there seem to be a significant number of anomalies in respect of the provision of pain relief and palliative care for aborted babies who are born alive. We really need to examine the matter and to ensure that our children are treated with dignity.
