DUBLIN, May 26 — Ireland’s resounding vote to overturn a constitutional ban on abortion represents the culmination of a "quiet revolution” in the country, Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said today.

"The public have spoken. The result appears to be resounding ... in favour of repealing the 8^th amendment” constitutional ban on abortion, Varadkar told journalists in Dublin.

"What we see is the culmination of a quiet revolution that has been taking place in Ireland over the last couple of decades,” he added. — Reuters
