- "The Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment 'would appear to have long since made up its mind' on repealing the constitutional ban on abortion, Bishop of Elphin Kevin Doran has said....Earlier Bishop Doran told the conference that the manner in which conscientious objection was being interpreted 'in the so-called Protection of Life in Pregnancy Act gives rise to real concern'. Doctors and nurses 'are allowed under the Act to opt out of providing or participating in abortion, provided they refer the patient to someone else who will perform the procedure', he said. 'In other words, they are still required to participate in what they believe to be fundamentally immoral. Healthcare administrators have no recourse to conscientious objection.'....
