The Taoiseach claims a free vote on the abortion bill tomorrow is just a one off.

Cabinet has failed to reach consensus on Mick Wallace's bill, as Independent Alliance Ministers plan to support it in tomorrow's vote.

Enda Kenny has insisted the bill is flawed and bad for women.

Former Fianna Fail TD Mary O'Rourke thinks the Independent Ministers decided to support the bill after Fine Gael dug in and adopted a hard-line position.

However, she does not think it will cause the government to fall.
