Majority want greater access to abortion, according to poll

A majority of people want to see a change in the Constitution to allow for greater access to abortion.

The latest Irish Times/Ipsos poll shows 62% are in favour of legislating for wider access to a termination.

While 26% say they would like no change to the current laws.

The poll was conducted on Monday and Tuesday of this week among a representative sample of 1,200 voters aged 18 and over in face-to-face interviews at 100 sampling points in all constituencies.
