The cabinet is understood to be divided on the proposals – with Independent Alliance Ministers calling for a free vote.  

The legislation from Deputy Mick Wallace would allow abortion in cases where the foetus has a profound disability and isn't expected to survive. 

Minister for Disability Finian McGrath says families need to be put at the forefront of the debate.
