Process by Oireachtas Committee on abortion met with opposition
A splinter group of the Oireachtas Committee on abortion says the process for discussing the issue was 'unacceptably flawed'.
Earlier the committee's final report recommended repealing the 8th amendment and allowing abortion without restriction for 12 weeks.
Three members have called for a fresh Citizens' Assembly to examine alternatives to abortion like adoption.
Fine Gael TD Peter Fitzpatrick says the process was flawed, and hit out at his party leader.
