RTÉ is reporting that the Government is expected to accept a bill which will lift a statute of limitations for women affected by symphysiotomy and wish to seek redress.
Last week, survivor Rita McCann, above, called the procedure “abuse”.
The statute of limitations laid down a two-year period within which proceedings could be initiated but most of the cases in Ireland go back 40-50 years. It’s believed around 200 women, now in their 70s and 80s, had the procedure.
The legislation will be introduced in the Dáil tonight by Sinn Féin’s Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin.
