Oireachtas Committee reccommends a repeal of the 8th amendment

They've issued their final report this afternoon.

It says the government should allow abortion without restriction for up to 12 weeks into the pregnancy, and allow terminations in the cases of fatal foetal abnormality without any term restrictions. 

Chair of the Committee is Catherine Noone, she says it's time to get over divisions and hold a referendum on the 8th amendment.
