Wicklow TD and Labour parliamentary vice-chair Anne Ferris’s party
future was under threat since her decision two weeks ago — based on
heartbreaking personal experience — to rebel against the Government’s
redress scheme for women held in mother and baby homes.
The move, and her clear call for Labour leaders to allow a free vote on Clare Daly’s bill on fatal foetal abnormalities last night, made it almost inevitable that Ms Ferris would lose the party whip and be expelled from the parliamentary Labour party.
