Thousands gather in Dublin for Rally for Life

Thousands of people gathered in Dublin city centre streets on the 1st Saturday of July for the Rally for Life. The first inperson national pro-life March since 2019, the chief aim of the Rally was to urge the public - and the government - to Rethink Abortion. Organisers said that recent events in the U.S. and elsewhere, such as the overturning of Roe v Wade, have given fresh momentum to pro-life initiatives worldwide, and shown that culture and law can be changed for the better.

Guest speakers included -

· Dr Dermot Kearney – Irish cardiologist living in Britain, has helped save many babies from abortion by providing abortion pill reversal. Dr. Kearney won a significant victory this year for this live saving work when he beat a campaign to have him struck off for abortion reversal treatment, he provided to 65 women for free.

· Eden McCourt - Abortion Resistance, a youth led, youth focussed UK pro-life organisation, inspired to begin activism in her teenage years, after discovering her parents were put under pressure by medical professionals to abort her special needs sister, Josephine.

· Niamh Ui Bhriain - Life Institute
