A historic day for Ireland.
The 25th of May will go down in history for an extremely special reason. It will forever be remembered as the day that Ireland voted on whether or not to change the 8th amendment, and legalise abortion.
Although it is still too soon to definitively say that Ireland have voted to repeal, the current tally sheets seem to
suggest an overwhelming YES vote,
It goes without saying that this referendum has attracted a great deal of attention from the rest of the world.
Many news sources from all around the globe have covered the monumental occasion, which further emphasises the importance of today. Take a look at who has said what:
