Equality Minister Roderic O’Gorman has praised the people of Waterford for their support in the wake of recent anti-LGBTI+ incidents in the city.
Pride flags displayed in the city were taken down and burned earlier this month, and when new flags were raised, they were again cut down from council buildings.
