Committee to publish final report on the Eight Amendment today

The Oireachtas Committee tasked with outlining recommendations for a referendum on the Eight Amendment is due to put forward it's final report today.

It's understood that the committee will recommend that abortion be allowed without restriction up to 12 weeks into pregnancy.

The report, which will outline the results of last week's members vote, is also expected to recommend that termination be permitted in in the case of fatal foetal abnormalities and when there is a serious risk to the health of the mother.

The vote to repeal the Eight Amendment was not unanimous and a second minority report is also expected to be issued by TDs Mattie McGrath and Peter Fitzpatrick, and Senator Ronan Mullen this morning.

Furthermore, the committee is also calling for improvement in sexual health and relationship education in schools, colleges and youth groups across the the country, as well advances in women's healthcare.

A referendum on the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution is due to take place in May.
