The Department of Health has reported that 6,577 abortions took place in 2020, a figure almost equivalent to the 6,666 abortions which took place in 2019, the first year of the new abortion regime.

Independent TD Carol Nolan has dubbed NPHET’s call to extend the lockdown as “fanatical,” and said that they have reached “zero common sense.” Speaking this week, the Laoise-Offaly TD slammed NPHET’s call to delay the re-opening of indoor dining for restaurants, cafés, pubs, and summer camps for children “for weeks.” “I think there will be […]

The TV series “Normal People” portrayed coming-of-age in modern Ireland as adventurous and liberating.
