By Elaine Loughlin, Political CorrespondentAgriculture Minister Michael Creed has called for a yes vote in the upcoming referendum. However, he refused to be drawn on any legislation that may be introduced if the people vote to repeal the eighth amendment. Speaking in Dublin, Mr Creed said it is now time to trust women and their doctors. Mr Creed who has previously expressed reservations around the 12 weeks unrestricted abortion said it will be a "redundant issue" if the referendum does not pass on Friday. He told the Dail in Dublin that women would be able to receive an abortion pill from their doctors following an informed decision.
