A radical shift in Sinn Fein's position on abortion could be imminent - according to one former MLA. The issue will be discussed at the party's Ard Fheis this weekend. Daithi McKay says one of the proposals might be more radical than some people expect, and it could signal a shift in party policy which would be closer to the 1967 act in Britain. But is the party ready for such a major change in policy? And could it expose a serious split within the party on the issue? Stephen spoke to BBC's political correspondent Enda McClafferty, and got got reaction from former Sinn Fein councillor Anne Brolly and former Sinn Fein MLA Daithi McKay.
