As many of us will know, LGBTQ+ people are a minority group who can face oppression and discrimination, often compounded by other forms of inequality as identities and experiences intersect across race, gender, disability, class and more.

This year, Pride of the Déise / Bród na nDéise launched its first ever Artist Bursary, and Deise Doll Roibí O'Rua was the one to claim it.

I am delighted to support Pride of the Déise, a key part of Pride celebrations in Waterford and a powerful example of what volunteer-led community collaboration can achieve.
