Minister for Health Leo Varadkar said in Dáil Éireann yesterday:
“Speaking as Minister for Health, and also as a medical doctor, and knowing now all that I do now, it is my considered view that the eighth amendment is too restrictive."
It is interesting to note that the late Dominican priest John M Heuston was strongly opposed to the 1983 eighth amendment to the Constitution. Indeed, the prophetic man often said that we would rue the day we changed the Constitution on that particular issue.
