In solidarity with our Pride community in Sligo and working with our LGBTQI+ sector partners we will also hold a vigil this Friday at 6pm at Dáil Éireann for Aidan Moffitt, Michael Snee and all victims of homophobic and transphobic violence. https://t.co/1qSkrnTTfw

Vigils have been organised by the LBGTQ+ community across the country.
They are being held in Cork, Dublin, Galway, Belfast and many other provincial locations this evening.
Lisa Connell of Gay Community News says this weeks events mark 'a dark week for the LGBT community in Ireland'.
"We are reporting more and more instances of violence and homophobic and transphobic attacks on people."
"So it's very much still an issue that the community is dealing with sadly and actively."
