After much debate the abortion bill has passed all stages in the Dáil this morning.

The Protection Of Life During Pregnancy Bill was passed just after midnight, by 127 votes to 31, and will now be sent to the Seanad.

The historic vote will grant the right of a woman to access abortion to save her life, including from suicide.
