Pro-life campaigner Ronan Mullen has accused the Taoiseach of being rattled by the turnout at an anti-abortion rally in Dublin on Saturday.

It comes after Enda Kenny revealed he has been branded "worse than Herod" by pro-lifer campaigners over the government move to legislate for limited abortion.

Gardaí say 25,000 people attended the Vigil for Life rally on Saturday.

Protesters left a voice-mail for the Taoiseach asking him to keep his pro-life promise.
