Dublin 'goes purple' to celebrate International Intersex Solidarity Day

For the first time in Ireland, a public building was illuminated purple, to acknowledge and celebrate Intersex Solidarity Day.  Our PI Tanya Ní Mhuirthile was instrumental in making this happen. 

Huge thanks are owed to Dublin's Lord Mayor, Paul McAuliffe for his support of our work by having the Mansion House - official residence of the Lord Mayor - become the first public building in Ireland to 'go purple' as a show of solidarity to the intersex community worldwide.  Listen to Tanya explain why this was such an important symbolic gesture.

Huge thanks are also owed to DCU President Brian MacCraith and all at DCU for their ongoing support of our work - we became the first Irish University to 'go purple'!
