Taoiseach hoping to attend Navan Pride following recent hate crime in the town

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar hopes to attend the inaugural Navan Pride Festival next month.

The Taoiseach has said he is hoping to attend Navan Pride next month after receiving an invite from the organisers.

It comes after around 100 people attended a 'Rally Against Hate' in the town in support for the 14-year-old assaulted last week. A video of that incident has been widely circulated online.
