This is the first March for Choice since Ireland enacted abortion legislation in December.
This will be the first March for Choice since Ireland enacted abortion legislation in December.
This was the seventh annual March for Choice and the first since the Eighth Amendment was removed from the Constitution.
It is the sixth annual march by the Abortion Rights Campaign.
It’s not a coincidence that a largely female movement is being criticized as ‘strident’.
The public will vote on repealing the Eighth Amendment next year.
The UK Supreme Court has ruled that women from Northern Ireland are not entitled to free access to abortions.
Thousands have turned out for what has been called the biggest pro-choice gathering in Ireland.
The Abortion Rights Campaign said its posters were removed in Rathmines and in some areas in the city centre.
The march was organised by the Abortion Rights Campaign.
Spain’s government is currently planning to restrict access to abortion services.
The march, organised by the Abortion Rights Campaign, was held to call for free and safe legal abortion for women in Ireland — coinciding with a global ‘day of action’.
The campaign group has said that the legislation does not satisfy a European court ruling which called on Ireland to clarify its abortion laws.
Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore has been among those to initially respond to the publication of the draft Protection of Life during Pregnancy Bill.
MORE THAN THREE-quarters of people would support the government looking into the prospect of a four-day work week, according to a new survey.
This means doing the same job for the same salary, but over four days rather than five.
There have been calls for this idea to be explored already and the Four Day Week Ireland campaign today released details on its public attitude survey conducted last month.
Two out of three respondents said a four-day work week is “realistic and achievable” in the medium term.
67% of employers said they support the idea and 46% said it would be “feasible” to trial in their workplace.
“The four-day week, with no loss of pay, offers the potential of a genuinely better future for workers and employers alike,” said Joe O’Connor, director of campaigning with Fórsa trade union.
What may once have seemed like a radical concept is now, for many, a reasonable and rational ambition. The Covid-19 pandemic has further disrupted societal and workplace norms, while illustrating the potential for very different models of work.
So today we’re asking: Would you support a four-day work week?
