The laws around abortion in Ireland are too restrictive, according to the Health Minister.
Leo Varadkar said that the laws with regard to the health of mothers and fatal foetal abnormalities need to be looked at.
However he said he won't be lobbying his Fine Gael colleagues on the issue "I think it's something that people have to consider themselves and understand themselves and talk about with their family and friends."
"I think it's a very sensitive issue, and a very divisive issue but it's not one that we should just pretend is going to go away", he added.
