With Enda Kenny keen to avoid being branded the “Abortion Taoiseach’, Leo Varadkar has outlined he is not a ‘fan of referendums’. Many have noted that the “Expert Group” avoided an option of putting this to the Irish people. People across Ireland have spoken in relation to the killing of unborn babies.
O’Duffy fought for Faith and Nation. What does the modern day Fine Gael stand for?

The Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar is denying reports that he clashed with the Taoiseach Enda Kenny over the issue of a referendum on abortion.
The Irish Independent reported that Mr Varadkar told a Fine Gael Parliamentary Party meeting last night that a referendum on the issue of suicide as grounds for a termination should not be ruled out, but the Taoiseach disagreed.
Minister Varadkar said the events of parliamentary party meetings are private.
However, he did say that he has never called for a referendum.
Mr Varadkar said: "There certainly wasn't a row and I can tell you that for certain.
"What there was was a very good three-hour meeting where 50 to 60 people gave their views on how we should move forward on the abortion issue. I haven't and I am not calling for an abortion referendum, I am not a fan of referendums at all."
