Voters in the Republic will go to the polls on Friday to decide whether to reform Ireland's abortion laws. 

Currently the 8th amendment recognises the rights of the mother and the rights of the unborn child as equal. A vote to repeal the 8th would pave the way for new legislation governing abortion. We speak to Labour Senator Ivana Bacik, David Quinn from Iona Institute, Bernie Smyth from Precious Life, and Green Party MLA Claire Bailey.
