"Any form of religious influence at National Maternity Hospital would see political backlash and would ignite the choice movement on the streets," said People Before Profit representative in Mayo Joe Daly. Mr Daly has called on the Government to heed calls by Dr Peter Boylan, as well as several of the HSEs own board members, regarding outstanding concerns over the future ownership of the National Maternity Hospital. He stated: "That any hint of religious influence over the provision of abortion and sterilisation services in the new National Maternity Hospital would see a political backlash that would ignite the choice movement on the streets. The Movement for Choice will mobilise against any deal that would see any form of curtailment of abortion services in the National Maternity Hospital. The Government and Minister for Health now need to come before the Dáil and make a statement on this matter."
