The former Co-Directors of the Together for Yes campaign to repeal the 8th amendment have been included in the Time 100 list.

It lists the 100 most influential people for 2019.

Grainne Griffin, Orla O'Connor and Ailbhe Smyth are included on the list for their work in mobilising people of all different backgrounds in the lead-up to the vote.

They are included as icons, along with Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga and Spike Lee.

Oscar nominated actress Ruth Negga has told Time their courageousness will be an inspiration for generations to come.

Ailbhe Smyth said: “The referendum result here in Ireland was a real boost for the morale of pro-choice campaigners throughout the word; and we hope it can be a beacon of light wherever and whenever abortion rights are denied, restricted or under severe threat.
