Members of the Irish Women's Liberation Movement travel to Belfast by train to buy contraceptives as a protest against the law which forbids the importation and sale of contraceptives in the Republic of Ireland.

Pat Ledwith tells RTÉ News about purchasing the contraceptives and bringing them through customs.

At Connolly Station in Dublin, where the Belfast train has returned with the women on board, demonstrators chant "let them though" and "enforce the constitution" at the customs officials.

Let them through, let them through.

Nell McCafferty can be spotted briefly in the crowd.

Triumphant women pass through the barrier holding their contraceptives in the air.
