It's still going on.

Irish teenager denied right to travel for an abortion.

A month ago she didn't know about the anencephaly - it was only discovered at a scan in the last two weeks (the 24th, if I remember correctly). Six days later, she had been through the HSE rigmarole and was making an application to the High Court to be allowed to challenge the HSE's decision. And the ridiculous thing is that should the High Court make a positive decision tomorrow, she still has to go through the District Court for permission to travel.

I must have misread 24 for 04 in my anger. Sorry :(

Ah, okay, that comment makes much more sense now. I agree on the insanity of the whole thing.

The District Court sat yesterday according to the SIndo. the proceedings were in camera so they can't be reported on but it's likely that she's already in the UK.

Really? Choice Ireland is supposed to be having a demo in solidarity with Miss D in front of the Four Courts tomorrow morning ... hm.

There is, still - the case needs to go back to the High Court again, assuming that the DC gave permission for her to travel.

Ah, okay, I had thought that there was a DC sitting yesterday, but couldn't find any reference to it when I checked (missed the Sindo report). It said that there still has to be the High Court special session tomorrow, though, which should just be a rubber-stamp job, so.
