Minister for Health Leo Varadkar said in Dáil Éireann yesterday:

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.
