A number of TDs have roundly criticised Hungary in the Dáil for its treatment of LGBT+ people.

The criticisms were made during statements on this week's European Council meeting, which will be attended by the Taoiseach and come as European Affairs Minister Thomas Byrne joined 12 other countries in condemning anti-LGBT+ legislation passed in Hungary last week.
