Today is an important milestone in delivering a world-class new National Maternity Hospital for women and babies. Cabinet approval of the legal framework ensures all legally permissible services will be available. We’ll work now to get this vital hospital built. pic.twitter.com/sTvT8qaYpt

Ah here.
Meanwhile…
The Greatest lies ever told by the most destructive Govt in the history of the state
We don't have a democracy. We have a group of liars who masquerade as representatives of the people & then do as they please when it pleases them. #NationalMaternityHospital #howirelandworks https://t.co/VgT1g6WV2D

Gulp.
Earlier…
The cabinet refused to define “clinically appropriate” in legal documents underpinning the national maternity hospital deal.

Dail Eireann.
Meanwhile….
The Taoiseach in reply says, when the hospital opens and the Government’s stance is vindicated, he hopes Sinn Féin has the good grace to acknowledge it and not delete its statements criticising it

This does not stop Róisín Shortall from using Menton’s comments yesterday as grounds for further criticism. She asks if the message to women who criticise the deal is that the word of cabinet negates the need for legal guarantees.

Earlier: Important Milestone
“…you don’t need legal guarantees..”
Same was said to unborn humans in May 2018. Leave it to the doctors they said.
Gript is missing a cheerleader!
Cares more about the unborn than the actual born. Dead women > dead foetus.
Even the babies are giving birth in that maternity hospital wow
Sounds like the telecom eireann share scam
Just wait for another savita
This project must be stopped
As much as I hate Sinn Fein if voting for them could stop this I would gladly do that
I was surprised how much the secularists went against the medical advice. In the abortion referendum they were all about the doctors and medical advice, now they are lumping the doctors in with the nuns. Calm down is right. Think of the women with medical needs and not your own fascist nun hating agenda.
Considering the concerns were legal why would anyone listen to medics?
Maybe that’s how you ended up with your colon directly attached to your trachea?
Triggered Toby on a rampage of late. Must be a shortage of Johnsons No More Tears shampoo and Preparation H.
Did Deputy Shortall use a scouse accent for the “calm down” part of her speech?
The women of Ireland? Men can get pregnant too according to Soc Dem worldview. For them it is an issue for women and men. They also keep referring to “maternity” which is also trans exclusionary. Hard to keep up I suppose.
Bit like the PFFLP in the life of brian the scene which yer man says where are you going to gestate the fetus ?
In a jar
The government have clearly decided to follow the Boris Johnston playbook, which entails telling lie after lie and attacking anyone who dares to contradict them. Of course it also helps when the media have their back.

200 paid-for re-tweets. FFG’s usual ploy which backfires every time.
A lot of Turkish people strangely interested in Irelands’s National Maternity Hospital.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly denies paying for Twitter retweets and likes

‘The Taoiseach in reply says, when the hospital opens and the Government’s stance is vindicated’
:D
This is an Irish public project. Half the front bench will be retired when construction starts, the other half gone by the time it’s finished.
