- 6 years ago
The Irish prime minister has hailed his country's "quiet revolution" as early results point to a "resounding" vote for overturning the abortion ban.
Leo Varadkar was speaking after exit polls suggested a landslide vote in favour of reforming the law.
"The people have spoken. They have said we need a modern constitution for a modern country," he said.
Exit polls suggest about 69% voted to repeal a part of the constitution that effectively bans terminations.
