Abortion in Ireland and Northern Ireland is against the law, unless the pregnancy endangers the life of the woman.

It is however not against the law to travel outside Ireland or Northern Ireland to have an abortion. Every year, thousands of women who live in Ireland travel to the UK to have access to abortion services. NUPAS UK provides abortions for up to 17 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy in our UK clinics.

NUPAS now provide free NHS abortions for women from Northern Ireland.

If you need information and advice or have already made the decision to have an abortion, you will need to make arrangements to attend our clinic.

You can call:

• Republic of Ireland (01) 874 0097
• Other Overseas 0845 359 6666

You will be able to speak to an advisor from 8am-10pm, 7 days a week by telephone or online. Alternatively, you can use our call back request service or email any questions to [email protected] and an advisor will contact you.

We understand how difficult it can be to make a decision regarding an abortion in Ireland, especially if you are travelling from Ireland and other oversea areas.  Our abortion services are tailored to meet the needs of Irish and other overseas visitors, which enables you to travel to our clinic and return home the same day.

Currently all of our overseas clients are directed to our NUPAS South Manchester Private clinic in Stockport. Included in our Irish and overseas package, we will arrange for you to be collected from the airport and taken back for your return flight. We want to make this process as simple as we can and ensure that your stay with us is as comfortable and as stress free as we can make it.

You are able to access any of our other clinics but we will not be able to arrange transport as part of the package. Click here for a full list of clinics.
