Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 December 2019
99. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if Irish Aid has provided funding to organisations that promote and provide termination of pregnancy services; if so, the funding allocated to such organisations from 2018 to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53633/19]
View answerThe Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade does not provide funding to organisations for the promotion or provision of termination of pregnancy. The Government's policy for international development, A Better World, published last February continues Ireland’s longstanding focus on improving the health of women and girls, as part of Ireland’s contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
