She only found out on April 23rd, when she was 16 weeks, that there was a problem.
The sticking point is not that she can't terminate but that she's in the care of the HSE. If she were suicidal, there would be no problem as that issue has already been dealt with. The court action was taken by Miss D as a pre-emptive strike against the HSE.
It seems now that an over-zealous social worker was the one who told her in the first place that she couldn't go. The HSE have admitted they have no power to prevent her from going to the UK (which actually worries me because does that mean they have no power to prevent a different teenager who just wants to go for a pleasure trip?).
