Cabinet meets to finalise abortion legislation
The Cabinet meets this morning in a bid to finalise the legislation on abortion.
Work on the legislation continued last night.
Ministers will gather at 8am this morning in a bid to sign off on the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill.
While Health Ministers signed off on it on Monday, drafting the final document has proven difficult since.
One of the sticking issues was the wording of a review clause - how to assess the workings of the legislation after a period of time of its operation.
Meanwhile, Health Minister James Reilly is to publish the report by the independent group of international experts into the death of Savita Halappanavar by the end of the week.
