Justice Minister Helen McEntee has vowed to bring forward a hate crime bill in a matter of weeks to respond to the “atrocious” murders of two men in Sligo and a homophobic attack on a young man in Dublin.
Tanaiste Leo Varadkar has also said he is “deeply troubled” over the killings of Aidan Moffitt and Michael Snee in Sligo and said he is concerned about the possible motive of the attacker.
Ms McEntee offered her “sincerest condolences” to the families.
