Newstalk reports:
“The Tánaiste Joan Burton has confirmed the issue of abortion will be part of the Labour Party manifesto for the next general election. Labour says it wants to see a vote on whether or not to repeal the 8th Amendment, which gives equal rights in the Constitution to the mother and her unborn child.”
The report followed an interview Ms Burton did with Shane Coleman, stepping in for Pat Kenny, on Newstalk this morning.
At one point, Mr Coleman asked Ms Burton if the Labour Party is pro-choice.
Shane Coleman: “Are you a pro-choice party?”
Joan Burton: “I would say that what we have now is an agreement that, as a party, we should seek to repeal the 8th amendment. But in the Labour Party, we have a whole range…”
Coleman: “You’re stopping short of describing the Labour Party as a pro-choice party.”
Burton: “Well in the Labour Party we’ve a whole range of views. We’ve people of very deep religious faiths, we have people who are agnostic. We have people who are atheist. We reflect the kaleidoscope, if you like, and the rainbow colour that’s the Irish nation. The Labour Party very much reflects that and what we have to do is we have to spend more time looking at, if we do repeal the 8th amendment, then what structure replaces it.”
Right so.

“In a House That Ceased To Be is an IFTA award-winning film which follows the Irish humanitarian and children’s rights activist Christina Noble whose unwavering commitment and selfless efforts have seen her better the lives of countless children since 1989. Her drive stems from a childhood in Ireland fraught with poverty, loss and institutional abuse. Christina remains scarred by the memory of the children she was unable to save, her own brother and two sisters, who she was separated from at a very young age.”
In A House That Ceased To Be will be broadcast on Monday, June 8, on RTÉ One, at 9.35pm

At Broadsheet we’re big fans of Kim,
But some folk aren’t as fond of him,
They’ll scheme and they’ll plot,
Until Kim has them shot,
But their chances of winning are slim.
