Sir, – In a recent radio interview, Minister for Health, James Reilly proclaimed it was now time to introduce legislation on abortion because it was clearly evident from (Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI) opinion polls that the Irish people have changed their minds on this particular matter and supported such legislation.
Given the latest Irish Times /Ipsos MRBI opinion poll on the state of the political parties (Home News, June 14th), can we now expect Mr Reilly to call for a general election? After all, it is now clearly evident that the Irish people have changed their minds on the Coalition partners and no longer offer them majority support! – Yours, etc,
