“The fact that some people still feel they can’t reveal their true selves at work tells us we still have more to do”

Networking has an invaluable role to play in boosting the confidence of LGBT+ workers within business communities, says Damien O’Halloran of Cork Pride.

The Marriage Equality referendum of 2015 was a landmark moment for inclusion for Irish society in the broadest terms. Since then, the LGBT+ community has enjoyed a lot of success in engaging with businesses in Ireland, promoting policies around diversity and inclusion.
