Several hundred people have marched in Dublin in support of the woman who won a civil rape case against Conor McGregor.
On Friday, a jury at the High Court in Dublin found the mixed martial arts fighter had assaulted Nikita Hand by raping her in a hotel in Dublin in December 2018.
McGregor was ordered to pay Ms Hand almost €250,000 (£206,000) in damages.
Among the speakers at Monday night's protest was Natasha O’Brien, a high-profile victim of an assault by an Irish soldier.
Ms O’Brien said she was “in awe” of Nikita Hand and her civil court victory proved to other victims that “you still have a voice”.
The protest was organised by ROSA, a socialist feminist movement, as part of International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
The protesters marched from Dublin city hall, along the River Liffey and to the office of the Irish director of public prosecutions (DPP) to express concern at the failure to take a criminal case against McGregor.
A higher legal threshold applies to a criminal case than a civil case.
In a criminal case, the burden of proof is beyond reasonable doubt, while in a civil case, it is on the balance of probabilities.
The DPP told Ms Hand in 2020 that there was "insufficient evidence" to bring a criminal case and there was not a reasonable prospect of conviction.
Ms Hand asked the DPP to review the decision, saying she felt she was being treated differently because one of the suspects was famous.
Asked about the DPP's decision not to prosecute, the outgoing Irish justice minister, Helen McEntee said at the weekend: “We have a very independent system in this country, and I think that's right.
"I really think it's important that we respect that independence."
