A mural of the late Savita Halappanavar by artist Aches on Richmond Street South, Dublin, at the time of the Eighth Amendment
RTE reports:
Today’s Supreme Court decision refusing to hear a further appeal on challenging the outcome of the referendum on the Eighth Amendment means the legislation can now be signed into law, according to the Taoiseach.
Legislation to allow for abortion in certain circumstances is on track to be passed by the Oireachtas before Christmas, Leo Varadkar told the media on the final day of his party’s think-in in Galway.
He said the Government intends to have services in place “for Irish women who need them” in January.
I promised ye t’would be before year end
Obviously you can’t run for President now!
C’mere
Shur’ who’d have me
The Tip crowd
Along wi’ Kirrie, de’ Banner and the Blahs
Would prefer someone from the DUP before they’d endose me after all the blaggarding and tormenting I’ve done upon dem over the years
Probably the same with North East Countries
Don’t mention anyone in the Whest
They take things fierce personal
Might have stood a chance with the BMWs
Maybe Tir’Chonnell
And maybe Mayhoo
Too late to try it on now
But then maybe tis still to soon anyway
Let Gallagher have his day t’ make annuder show ‘ve himself
Maybe in 2025
If I haven’t won d’ lotto
Or got meself inta more trouble
I’d have given ye me number 2.
Do you ever stop talking about yourself?
You seem like a lovely person, why don’t you tell us a little more about yourself.
I try not’ta anyway Weedom
Ta for the cue
Hopefully this won’t lead to an increase in the number of Irish pregnancies being aborted.
Hopefully it will lead to women in Ireland receiving the health care they need from their own doctor in their own country.
Of course it will. The numbers have never been officially quantified because not all Irish women went to the UK, and not all of them gave an Irish address. Your faux concern is noted, though
Figures are one thing, but hopefully the actual number won’t rise.
I think that’s everyone’s hope. It would be a great step in creating truly effective supports for crisis pregnancies.
It’s common to see an initial rise, I know, and then numbers settle. So here’s hoping this is the first of many steps to helping women and supporting women properly in their choice.
hopefully it will
Who will sign it in? Miggeldy I suppose. Over a nice dinner with some caviar and bubbly.
Now that Scally has produced his report into the FG Cervical Smear Scandal, let’s see the redactions, shelving of the report etc. The Boy Harris will have to learn new tricks. Maybe his mentor, Fitzgerald can help him.
Boring, one- dimensional, asinine troll.
Why aren’t you in broadsheet in the Telly?
Why aren’t you?
How do you know I am not?
Luke?
Freedom is very far from the gentle soul that is Luke.
Secretly, Freedom would love to appear on Broadsheet on the Telly and the thought that they are being denied an opportunity to show up the plebs they despise is what’s making them particularly cranky tonight.
Why not go on so?
Because it would be beneath their dignity to appear on a show that allows mere civilians to pontificate on matters of public interest?
Or because their professional position precludes them from association with a rival media publication?
Haha you’re a gas ticket Parka. No
Why not go on Broadsheet on the Telly then?
And why so suspicious of the site’s motivations? Have you considered the possibility that its owners might be well meaning and sincere?
Have you considered that they might be misguided and self-aggrandising?
So you don’t disagree with my comment then?
I disagree with everything you post here even when I agree with it
Good job confirming yourself as the idiot we all suspected you were.
Yep. You’re so consistent. Apart from your “name ”
Why change it so often? Can’t take the heat?
i Don’t even bother reading your wittering Millie at least gigidioty got some attention from me
That’s because I use full sentences darling. It’s rather beyond your level.
You have fun with your pissing contest with the rest of the lads.
Where did the memorial go?
Usually the panels are painted over for the next artwork but unusually there were missing panels for a few days so I assumed the 3 centre panels had been taken down and stored somewhere. There may have been a story at the time, but if you are really interested you’d need to contact Bodytonic, the group who own the Bernard Shaw.
Disgraceful use of a deceased persons image.
