A march and rally in favour of retaining the Eighth Amendment took place in Dublin city centre today.
The pro-life marchers met at Parnell Square at 2pm, before making their way down O'Connell Street to Merrion Square, where a rally featuring speakers calling for the retainment of the eighth amendment was held.
A representative of Rachel's Vineyard Ireland, a "support group model for counselors, offering a very concrete, emotional experience for women who were grieving the loss of their aborted children", said: "I have a dream that in my lifetime many women will stand with me and admit that they had abortions and that they regret it".
Spokesperson Niamh Ui Bhriain says the government has got it wrong about the referendum. If the Irish people vote to repeal the law, the government said it would introduce unrestricted access to abortions during the first trimester.
