Protest against homophobia to take place in Dublin amid RTÉ controversy

A protest against homophobia is taking place in Dublin this afternoon following controversy over comments made by the gay rights activist Rory O'Neill on RTÉ's 'Saturday Night Show' last month.

The State broadcaster is reported to have paid out some €85,000 in compensation in its defamation settlement over the comments made by Mr O'Neill, who performs as drag queen Panti.
