Shared story

In Memory Of | Lyra McKee | TEDxStormontWomen
Lyra McKee's commitment and determination was an example to many LGBT+ waiting for it to 'get better' and she worked hard to convince young LGBT+ people that things would get better for them.
Lyra's death, 21 years on from the Good Friday Agreement, was senseless and brutal and we're sending our support to her partner and family.
A Book of Condolence has been opened at Belfast City Hall by the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Belfast and there will be a number of vigils later today:
- St. Stephen's Green, Dublin, 4.00pm
- Guildhall Square, Derry, 5.00pm
- Belfast City Hall, 6.00pm
And tomorrow:
-The Diamond, Enniskillen, 3.00pm
- Newry Town Hall, 3.00pm
