Written Answers. - Abortion Referendum.
The Cabinet committee of which I am chairman is currently considering the fifth progress report of the all-party Oireachtas Committee on the Constitution, dealing with the issue of abortion. It is not possible at this stage to indicate a timescale for the completion of the committee's work. A decision has not yet been taken on the question of whether there should be a further referendum on abortion.
