The District Court has refused permission for a 17-year-old girl to travel to the UK for an abortion.
The High Court heard that the HSE made an application to the district court on Saturday seeking directions as to whether the girl, known as Miss D could travel for an abortion.
The court heard that the district judge refused to grant an order allowing the girl to travel because he said that would be a failure on his part to respect, defend and vindicate the rights of the unborn.
He also said having regard to the judgment in the C case - where a 13-year-old girl who had been raped sought permission to go to the UK for an abortion -he believed the granting of such an order would be improper and unlawful.
This is because Mr Justice Geoghegan in the C case stated that there was no right to travel abroad for an abortion.
It has also emerged that there was a special sitting of the High Court yesterday was the HSE were given permission to challenge the district court's order.
Counsel for the HSE, Gerry Durcan, said there had to be clarification today on whether or not Miss D had a right to travel.
The court is now discussing how the case will proceed.
30 Pro Lifers have turned up with foetus pics.
