Irish Abortion Referendum: Ireland to vote on controversial abortion law

Irish voters go to the polls on Friday in a referendum on abortion - they're voting to change the 8th amendment of the constitution.

A YES vote would repeal the amendment, allowing abortion to be legalised for the first time. Simon McGregor-Wood reports.
