Catholic schools are coming under increasing pressure to ban Amnesty International from addressing their students, given the organisation’s support for a liberalisation of Ireland’s abortion laws.
Niamh Uí Bhriain of the Life Institute told The Irish Catholic that Catholic schools had to “draw a line in the sand” on the issue after Amnesty International Ireland visited a number of schools in the Dublin archdiocese recently.
“If you are a group campaigning aggressively for abortion, something that is completely contrary to a Catholic ethos, then you don’t have a right to visit Catholic schools and attempt to gain support for your organisation.
