More than 1,500 people marched in Dublin city centre yesterday against the ownership of the new National Maternity Hospital remaining in the hands of religious order the Sisters of Charity.
The protesters gathered at the Garden of Remembrance on Parnell Street before marching to government buildings.
The demonstration was organised by the National Women’s Council Of Ireland, Uplift and Parents For Choice In Pregnancy And Stillbirth.
Among those attending were Aoife McArdle (43) and her three-year-old daughter Clara, from Phibsborough in Dublin.
Ms McArdle said the issue “disturbed her greatly”.
