PICS: The #Strike4Repeal Protest Has Brought Dublin City Centre To A Standstill

The day has arrived. Thousands of protesters have taken to Dublin’s street this afternoon for #Strike4Repeal; a march to protest against our government’s abortion laws.

Organised by pro-choice campaigners, the march took place on O’Connell street and down the quays, with many protesters dressed in black in solidarity with the Repeal movement.

The pics on Twitter show just how impressive the turnout is.
