Dublin Pride is hosting a memorial meeting for Declan Flynn in Fairview Park on Saturday, September 10, 40 years after his death.
Declan was the victim of a homophobic attack in the same park in the early hours of September 10, 1982. A gang of five teenagers were responsible for the attack.
The same group had carried out other homophobic attacks during the summer of 1982. Declan's murder is often regarded as a catalyst for the Irish gay rights movement.
