How will Ireland vote on abortion?
On Friday 25 May 2018 people in the Republic of Ireland will vote on whether they want to make changes to the country's strict abortion laws, upheld in the Eighth Amendment of the Irish constitution.
The polls suggest overall a small lead for relaxing the laws but with younger voters more strongly in favour of change.
