You may recall yesterday’s thoughtful response from Labour TD Sean Kenny explaining why he voted against Clare Daly’s ‘Savita’s Law’ bill to a constituent.
The following is, reportedly, a brief exchange between a mother-of-two from Clare and her local Labour TD Michael McNamara, (above left with Ivana Bacik and Eamon Gilmore), posted on the MagicMum website.
..last night Micheal you certainly didn’t represent me. It is a travesty that you and others like you have such blatant disregard for the health and lives of the women of this country and county. As a mother of two daughters your actions last night made me cry. I hope I and any future partners they may have never have to go through what Praveen Halappanavar and many others (maybe not with such dire consequences, luckily) like him went through
Consider my vote gone.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Ms ***,
Did you even read or listen to the Minister’s speech wherein he promised legislation and provided a timeframe?
If not, I’d suggest you do so: Justice.ie/en/JELR/Pages/SP12000333
Isn’t there a certain irony that instead you resorted to a Youth Defence strategy?
Best regards,
Michael
