Sparked by the not guilty verdict delivered at the Belfast Crown Court last week, protests and rallies will take place across the country today.

It follows on from an immense turnout of hour-long rallies on Thursday, which saw thousands take to the streets to protest against the not guilty verdict. Since then, there has been a huge debate across the country, with further legal action being threatened. Much of the nation are still upset and angered by the verdict, and will again take to the streets to protest against it. The times and locations are as follows:

• Dublin - 2pm, City Hall
• Belfast - 1pm, City Hall
• Cork - 1.30pm, Brown Thomas
• Galway - 1pm, Eyre Square

On Wednesday, and after 3 hours and 45 minutes of deliberation the jury of eight men and three women reached a unanimous verdict on all counts.

If you want to give Paddy Jackson’s #SueMePaddy legal team something to think about, there are marches all over the country today to say #IBelieveHer.
