Set our TDs free

Sinn Féin let itself down by not allowing its TDs a free vote on the Eighth Amendment.

On a matter of life and death, every TD and minister should be able to vote with their conscience. Fine Gael lost some of its best TDs, including Lucinda Creighton, when it refused this basic right of a free vote.

What was Fine Gael afraid of? What is Sinn Féin afraid of?
