Description

Jane Loughrey reports for UTV Live on the results of an opinion poll carried out on voting intentions for the Referendum on the Good Friday Agreement. It shows support for Yes among both unionist and nationalist voters, but with large numbers of people - whose votes will be crucial - still to make up their minds. David Trimble appears at a press conference with the rock group Ash ahead of a concert alongside U2 in support of the Yes campaign.

Meanwhile, Jeffrey Donaldson, a member of Trimble's party who is against the Agreement is speaking at a different press conference. Although not supporting Yes he says he will support his leader in any Assembly, as long as he refuses to deal with Sinn Féin before decommissioning.
