Some MLAs attempt to resurrect Stormont government ahead of NI abortion law reform deadline

Oct 21, 2019, 09:18 AM

Some of Stormont's MLAs will return to the chamber today 
for the first time in nearly three years, after a petition 
triggered a recall. 

The move was proposed in an attempt to stop the reform 
of Northern Ireland's abortion law.

Laws on abortion and same-sex marriage will change unless devolution is restored by midnight. 

Alliance leader Naomi Long has called it a stunt and joined Vinny Hurrell on air alongside DUP MLA Jim Wells, Bernie Smyth from Precious Life and Kellie Turtle from Alliance for Choice
