Labour TD Aodhan O Riordain has described the call from some in Fine Gael for a “sunset clause” to be included in the X Case Legislation as a “nonsense.”
“…Talk of floodgates is incredibly irresponsible. This is cowardice from legislators whose responsibility is to protect women’s lives and their constitutional rights,” he added.
The call has been backed by Junior Minister Lucinda Creighton [above with her husband, Fine Gael Senator John Bradford, a pro-life supporter, in 2011] who said it was constructive and sensible and should be considered by Cabinet.
