DkIT Students’ Union voted recently to adopt a Pro-Choice position on the upcoming national referendum regarding the 8th Amendment.

The results of the poll, which were released last week, showed that 291 votes were cast in the ballot.

Of the 291 votes, 263 voted in favour of the proposal, 26 against and two votes were spoiled.

In an email to students, Student Union President Pauraic Renaghan, confirmed the results and that DkIT Students’ Union would be accepting the proposal.
