It wasn't, unfortunately:
Abortion in the Republic of Ireland is illegal unless it occurs as the result of a medical intervention performed to save the life of the mother.
I hope, but don't anticipate, that the consultant in question is suspended from the medical council register, his or her decision was neither medically nor legally the right one. (This is not to say that the statutory (as opposed to constitutional) lack of clarity here was any help at all.)
Your desire to see someone lose their job is unpleasant.
