In an interview with the Sunday Independent, first time TD, Norma Foley, said she believes in the rights of the unborn and added that she would not rule out arguing for restrictions to abortion when the current legislation is reviewed next year.
On school choice, she affirmed her commitment to expanding plurality in education and achieving a target of at least 400 multi-denominational primary schools by 2030.
