A group advocating for greater access to abortion performed a play for members of the Oireachtas.

The event was hosted by Independent Senator, Lynn Ruane, of the Trinty College Dublin panel.

An Instagram post on “Irelands Lottery of Care 2025 live performance in Leinster House”, described it as an “immersive presentation of Abortion in the Spotlight, an art based research project working with service users, providers and healthcare professionals. Accompanied by the performance was a zine, that reflects our suggestions for improving Irelands healthcare system based off our research”.

The group say they aim to “highlight the stigma and struggles in the healthcare system in Ireland in regards to abortion procedures”. On their website they invite “women and non gender confirming people to share their stories of having an abortion”.

The project is part of a Dublin-based activist group called The Performing Activism Collective. Founded in 2023, they describe themselves as “a group of women who create transgressive performances to fight for equality often seen at protests and days of action around Dublin city”.
