A solidarity march for victims of clerical abuse will take place today to coincide with Pope Francis' Mass in Dublin's Phoenix Park.
The Stand4Truth march will begin at the Garden of Remembrance on Parnell Square at 2.30 pm this afternoon and organisers of the event say they expect thousands of people to take part.
Solidarity in the search for Truth, Justice, & Love today at the Garden of Remembrance. Open to all & the rain is to lift by then. Starts 2:30 & has the potential to offer community & healing.

Among those attending the march are singers Hozier, Mary Black and Liam O'Maonlai - who will perform on stage.
It will also feature spoken word performances by theatre-maker Grace Dyas, poet Sarah Clancy and activist Colm O’Gorman.
The crowd will then walk silently to Sean McDermott Street to the last remaining Magdalene Laundry.
They will be able to leave messages of support there, the focus of which will be a commissioned art piece by artist Will St Leger.
