The Catholic Archbishop of Dublin Dr Diarmuid Martin has urged caution over anti-abortion protests at GP surgeries. He said that while "everybody has a right to make a protest", GP surgeries were used by everybody for all sorts of reasons. The Catholic Archbishop also voiced support for medical professionals with a conscientious objection to abortion who "clash with the law". Where you begin to trample the rights of conscience then you're moving into a very different form of government, he said. Asked about his own future, the 74-year-old Archbishop said he was coming towards a time when it would be good for him to retire.
