A group of masked protesters have staged a demonstration at the Department of Health demanding an external investigation into an alleged data breach at the HSE.
It follows a claim by a woman who said she was contacted by a bogus counselling service after she had an abortion at Holles Street Maternity Hospital.
The Health Minister has already asked the HSE to look into the matter.
Dozens of people wore rat masks to symbolise what they say is an "infestation of rats" at the HSE.
We asked the people at today's protest why they were there, one explained:
I'm absolutely shocked that this kind of information has been able to get out.
I want to know who did it. It can never happen again. It's absolutely ridiculous.
