Rainbow crossing brings colour to Patrick Street for Cork Pride

The crossing, from Brown Thomas to Dunnes Stores, features an updated Pride flag - to include transgender and intersex people, as well as people of colour - a sign of solidarity

The Progress Pride flag: adorning the crossing between Dunnes Stores and Brown Thomas this morning

The weather's been good, and Cork Pride is on the horizon - so what better time to give Patrick Street a dash of colour - and mark the lives and contributions of Cork's LGBT* community to the city?

People making their way to Cork's main thoroughfare this morning will be among the first to see a freshly-painted rainbow crossing on Pana, at the lights between Dunnes Stores' flagship and the local branch of Brown Thomas.
