A Galway woman has interrupted a four-month trekking holiday in southeast Asia to cast her Yes vote in the abortion referendum. The date of the poll had not been announced when Ciara Cremin set off almost four months ago. The NUI Galway graduate was determined to come back and was even willing to push back her masters degree studies to pay off the almost €1,000 travel cost. She knew she did not have the money to come back to vote but also felt she would regret it all her life if there was a No vote. NUI Galway graduate Ciara Cremin takes a selfie with her passport ahead of her long journey home.
