If Ireland elected a party such as Renua or Peadar Toibins new party could these easily make abortion illegal in Ireland again if they had a large amount of seats in the Dail and it would tskes ages with bills/etc I know this won't happen but the marriage referendum is set in stone they can't change it without going back to the people but this isn't. Am I correct in saying that?

It’s going to take a while to bed in the new services and work around doctors and surgical staff who don’t want to perform abortions. I’m very confident that all will be well, it will just take a while.
