Anti-abortion demonstrators marched from Garden of Remembrance, down O’Connell Street before speeches given at Custom House Quay
Dr Trevor Hayes, consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist working in St Luke’s Hospital, Kilkenny said he would not be “forced, coerced and bullied” by politicians or media into performing or facilitating abortion.
“The Minister of Health needs to understand this if he believes he can bully pro-life doctors and nurses into performing abortions, he is absolutely wrong,” he added. “The political establishment in Ireland is becoming increasingly authoritarian. Even the political parties of the centre, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, are captured as well,” he said.
