A rally of thousands.
The issue of abortion was on the agenda this afternoon as thousands of Irish people gathered in Dublin for the #MarchForChoice rally in Dublin where organisers were calling on politicians to make “a commitment to Repeal the 8th Amendment”.
The demonstration started at the Garden of Rememberance at 2pm before moving towards Merrion Square and the quays.
Take a look at the incredible turnout in the video below, along with these other tweets.

#MarchForChoice Because everyone has a story and not all of them are happy or straightforward.
