THE ANNUAL DUBLIN Pride Parade will get underway this afternoon in the city centre.
More than 100,000 people are expected to attend, with other events also taking place in towns across the country to celebrate the LGBTQI+ community.
The Dublin Parade will kick off at 12.30 pm outside the GPO on O’Connell Street and last for about 2 hours, finishing up on Merrion Street.
A full list of the Dublin Pride events taking place over the weekend is available here.
Dublin’s first Pride parade took place in 1974, when a small group of less than a dozen people marched through the city. You can read more about the history of Pride and the struggle for LQBTQI+ rights in Ireland here.
