Two Irish women travelling to the UK for an abortion are live tweeting their journey in a campaign to repeal anti-abortion laws in Ireland.

The hashtag on Twitter 'Two Women Travel' has documented the women's 48-hour trip to a British abortion clinic - a journey hundreds of Irish women make every year as a result of Ireland's strict abortion laws.

Women are only permitted to terminate their pregnancy if the life of the mother is in danger, with abortion illegal in cases of rape, incest or fatal fetal deformity.

Photos posted from Dublin airport at 5am, to catching a train and then two sparse waiting rooms track the journey of the Irish woman supporting her pregnant friend.

'Now a waiting room,weighted by bated breaths. We could be home by noon in another world,' they write in one tweet, followed by an unexplained taxi ride to a second clinic.

'@EndaKennyTD waiting room no. 2. Feel might collapse from exhaustion.No sleep. Friend calm.Brave. #twowomentravel'.

Each tweet tags Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny - with one pointedly asking him where he's watching the Olympics, while they are 'out for a tense lonely lunch. No sleep, no food.'
