MOTION NO. 14

MOTION: Councillor L. Whelan

That this Council supports that the new National Maternity Hospital will be publicly owned with a secular and inclusive ethos, including if necessary, the consideration of alternative sites, already in public ownership, such as Tallaght and Blanchardstown. 

The calls for the separation of church and state where reproductive healthcare is concerned have been clearly expressed through Repeal and Marriage Equality. We call on Minister Donnelly to respond to this Council clearly outlining the plan for the new National Materniy Hospital.

REPORT:

If this Motion is passed, a letter will be issued to the Minister for Health. A response, when received, will be circulated to the Members.
