Poll reveals public's opinion on abortion referendum
A referendum on Repealing the 8th Amendment takes place later this year, with the government looking to implement the recommendations of the Oireachtas Committee on abortion.
The opinion poll shows 40 per cent approval for a law allowing for access to abortion in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy.
The Sunday Independent Kantar Millward Brown survey also indicates 19 per cent have yet to make up their mind on the proposal.
Philip Ryan is the Political Correspondent with the Sunday Independent.
