156.

asked the Minister for Health the action he has taken to ensure that abortifacients are not sold, prescribed or displayed.

The law relating to abortifacients has not been changed. If the Deputy is aware of breaches of the law I would suggest that he brings them to the attention of the Department of Justice.

asked the Minister for Health if he will make a statement on reports that he has granted a licence to import contraceptives to a company (details supplied) and a licence to operate a family planning service involving the use of contraceptives; and the type of licences he has granted to this body.

A licence to import contraceptives has not been sought by the company mentioned in the question. A request for consent to the company providing a family planning service has been received in my Department and is under consideration.
