After two days of debate, a landmark bill has been passed in Ireland that enshrines into law a woman's right to an abortion in cases where her life is at risk or she is in danger of committing suicide. The result was met with applause in parliament where it was passed by 127 votes to 31, but it's an issue that's divided the mostly Catholic nation. Al Jazeera's Charlie Angela reports from Dublin.
