Student explains leaving Ireland to have two abortions

Niamh (not her real name) is a student who left Ireland twice in the past year to have her pregnancies terminated, after her contraception failed.

Speaking to Emma Barnett, 鈥楴iamh鈥� explained that she didn鈥檛 tell her family on the second occasion, as she believed it would jeopardise her relationship with her mother.

She also told 5 live that the changing views on abortion in Ireland are due to a 鈥榞enerational thing鈥�.
