We are failing transgender people on healthcare.

Tomorrow 3rd December, we will be launching a private members bill in support of improving transgender healthcare across Ireland to get the gender reaffirming care that trans people desperately need.

Today we honour and remember the people we have lost, and reflect on the progress made in fighting HIV

Despite the advances in treatment and testing, we can't take for granted all the progress made.

Stigma still persists and we must challenge it whenever we encounter it.

It was the Irish Labour Party who introduced the Gender Recognition Act 2015 which for the first time gave legal protection to trans adults to identify as the gender they known themselves to be. We are now fighting for a better trans healthcare model in Ireland.

Labourโ€™s record on LGBTQ rights in Ireland is second to none. Most major progress for our community happened with Labourโ€™s support. Itโ€™s nice not to be politically alone in delivering legislation to address these unjust historical convictions thanks to SF, SocDem, Greens, PBP and IND TDs.

New bill seeks to disregard historic convictions for consensual sex between men in Ireland Kieran Rose called for government support on the bill and warned, โ€œTime is running out for those men who wish to avail of a disregard scheme.โ€

It was early 2017 when I and @aoifeleahy.bsky.social as co-chairs of @labourlgbtq.bsky.social met Ged Nash TD to discuss his Bill calling for an apology from the State, that happened in June 2018. Now in June 2025 we are nearing our final goal to address pre-1993 convictions.
