Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said he has told the Catholic Church’s most senior representative in Ireland Cardinal Sean Brady that politicians have a duty and responsibility to legislate for limited abortion.
“Everybody’s entitled to their opinion here but as explained to the Cardinal and members of the church my book is the constitution and the constitution is determined by the people. That’s the people’s book. We live in a Republic and I have a duty and responsibility as head of Government to legislate in respect of what the people’s wishes are,” Mr Kenny said.
