Earlier this month when the bill was finally passed through the Oireachtas, Health Minister Simon Harris told the Irish Times: “This is a genuinely historic moment. It paves the way for the implementation of the service for termination of pregnancy in January 2019. "The passage of the legislation allows for the beginning of a new journey.
