The Catholic Archbishop of Armagh, Eamon Martin, is to join thousands of pro-life supporters at the annual Rally for Life in Dublin this Saturday, July 6th.

Also taking part will be Carol Nolan TD, who resigned from Sinn Féin in June of last year over its stance on abortion, and Trevor Hayes, consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology at St Luke’s Hospital Kilkenny.

Prior to the rally, Bishop of Elphin Kevin Doran will celebrate Mass at St Saviour’s Church on Dominic Street in Dublin.

Niamh Uí Bhriain, one of the organisers of the event, said the rally was intended to show that, despite the removal of the right to life of the unborn from the Constitution last year, “no law, no legislation can make it right to take the life of a child”.
