This video shows all of the 9000 people who marched in the anti-choice #Save8Rally in Dublin 10th March 2018. It's an hour long and shows the march as it passed the small counter protest on O'Connell street.
The organisers lied to their own supporters multiple times from the stage at the end in telling them 100,000 people marched. Organisers tend to be optimistic in their guesses but there is optimism ('maybe it was 20k') and then there is making multiple announcements to a crowd in a space that can only fit 15,000 that there are in fact 100,000 of them there.
In any case with this complete video of the march you can make your own judgement independent of the 8,930 our two counting teams averaged at. You don't need to count for the entire hour of this video just dip in at a couple of points and count for one minute.
Below are the number of people you would need to see pass to match the figures given out by organisers, RTE ('tens of thousands, we went for the lowest in that range, 30k) and out own 9000 count.
100k requires 1667 ppm
30k requires 500 ppm
8930 would be 149 ppm
You can also view the 36 minutes of live footage previously streamed to the page from one of our counting teams and count segments of that. You may end up thinking our 9000 figure is out by one or two thousand, you will not however consider 'tens of thousands' to be anyway possible, never mind 100,000.
