Tanaiste Leo Varadkar has said that he hopes RTE and Pride organisers can “come together again and sort it out” in relation to criticism of an on-air discussion about trans issues.
Dublin Pride announced on Tuesday the termination of its media partnership with RTE after voicing concern about recent discussions on transgender topics on the Liveline radio show.
The organisation, which organises the annual Pride programme of events in the city, said it was “angered and disappointed” by the content of the radio debates, claiming they had breached trust with the LGBTQ+ community and caused “untold hurt”.
