A sex education Bill co-sponsored by hard left TD, Ruth Coppinger, passed the second stage of the legislative process yesterday when it was approved by the Dail without being put to a vote. The Bill, if passed, would force schools to teach a certain model of relationships and sexuality education regardless of ethos including about abortion. A minimum of 10 TDs must want a vote for one to take place, but only two deputies rose to oppose the bill when it was put the the House.  It will now be sent to a committee for closer legislative scrutiny, although, because it is a private member’s Bill it is likely to languish without progress.
