All C103 News & Sport

The Citizens Assembly says the Government should legislate for abortion in a number of cases. 

The group has held its final ballot to decide on their recommendations for the Oireachtas on the issue  - most notably it's recommended terminations should be permitted where the pregnancy is as a result of rape, in cases of fatal foetal abnormalities and where the woman's life is at risk.

A report will now be prepared for the Government - with a referendum expected to be held as a result of its work.
