THOUSANDS of people are marching through Dublin city centre this afternoon protesting against religious ownership of the new National Maternity Hospital.
The main throughway through the capital, O’Connell St, is currently closed to allow the thousand or so demonstrators passage on their way to Merrion Square.
AA Roadwatch and gardai are advising those travelling through Dublin to avoid the city centre as best as they can for the next few hours.
Those protesting today are opposed to the Government’s decision to appoint the Sisters of Charity as sole owners of the new €300m taxpayer-funded hospital.
