A woman who fell pregnant as a result of a sexual assault was "actively obstructed" from getting an abortion by a GP she visited three times, an Oireachtas Committee has heard.
Barrister Marie O’Shea, whose review of abortion legislation was published in April, told the Health Committee that she was "disappointed" by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and Tánaiste Micheál Martin’s reactions to her report.
She appeared in front of TDs and Senators on Wednesday morning to discuss the report. Dr Catherine Conlon, Associate Professor of Social Policy at Trinity College Dublin, also briefed TDs and Senators.
