Grandparents join families to urge yes vote on Eighth

Grandparents and their families have joined forces in appealing for a yes vote in the referendum on the Eighth Amendment, rejecting suggestions that senior citizens will vote against repeal on May 25.

With just over two weeks until the May 25 vote, the yes side communicated the messages of grandmothers and grandfathers who witnessed and voted in the Eighth Amendment campaign of 1983.

Retired Supreme Court judge Catherine McGuinness urged voters to trust the memories and experiences of women who campaigned against the abortion restrictions in 1983.
