Today, on International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, we mark the progress made on the rights of LGBTIQ+ people.
It is unacceptable that LGBTIQ+ people continue to face discrimination, harassment, and violence for being who they are.
Ireland will continue to call for further steps to realise the full equality of LGBTIQ+ persons at home and globally.

Inniu, ar an Lá Idirnáisiúnta in aghaidh na homafóibe, na trasfhóibe agus na défhóibe, déanaimid ceiliúradh ar an dul chun cinn atá déanta maidir le cearta daoine LADTIA+.
Is do-ghlactha é go mbíonn ar dhaoine LADTIA+ dul i ngleic leis an idirdhealú, le ciapadh agus le foréigean mar gheall ar an bhféiniúlacht atá acu.
Leanfaidh Éire uirthi ag éileamh go nglacfaí céimeanna breise le comhionannas iomlán daoine LADTIA+ a bhaint amach sa bhaile agus ar fud an domhain.

Last week we were excited to be at JEF Malta’s European Village in University of Malta to celebrate Europe Day.
Our stand was in collaboration with MIRSA : Malta International Relations Student Association 🇮🇪
Thank you to everyone who visited us and engaged 🇪🇺
