Renua has vowed to replace and reform the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (IHREC), saying that they have “lost credibility” after their submission to the Oireacthas Committee on the 8th Amendment.
The party said their recommendations would result in light-touch regulation and the withdrawal of the right to life of the most vulnerable in society.
Renua criticised the IHREC for not bringing the attention of the Oireacthas committee to a recent UN report that raised concerns about the UK’s laws on selective abortions at any stage on the grounds of foetus deficiency.
