Daly abortion bill: How each TD voted

Clare Daly’s abortion bill was defeated by 101 votes to 27 tonight. Who voted what way?

AN ABORTION BILL put forward by Deputy Clare Daly has been voted down by 101 votes to 27 this evening.

Though the result as shown in our image said there were 100 votes to 27, the result as formally announced was 101 to 27. This was because one TD who was listed as having abstained from voting eventually voted No.

Note: Although some opposition TDs are listed as having abstained, they may have absent on official business and so been ‘paired’ for the vote with an opposition TD who deliberately abstained to off-set their absence.
