Speaking during a 20-minute canvass on Grafton Street in Dublin City Centre in which Mr McGrath also repeated his 60:40 Yes vote referendum prediction, Mr Ross and Mr Halligan said the 12 weeks legislation must pass if the Eighth Amendment is removed. It's very serious legislation and the idea it would be delayed deliberately would be absolutely wrong." Mr Halligan added: "If people vote Yes, everybody in the Dáil...will have to come to terms with the fact the majority of the public has voted Yes, and to get the legislation through as quickly as possible. At the same canvass - which saw the ministers largely receive Yes votes promises, despite Mr McGrath being told by a middle-aged no voter woman a foetus is "called a child" - Mr McGrath also repeated his view there will a 60:40 yes result. Speaking at the event Dr. O’Regan said the poster aimed to send a clear message to government and their abortion proposals.
