From April 11–12, 2022, Michael Snee (58) and Aiden Moffatt (42) lost their lives in a homophobic attack.

A few days before Anthony Burke (50) was attacked by the same man and lost his sight in one eye. Mr Burke was also outed subsequently following the media attention surrounding the case.

By all accounts all three men led their personal lives in a private manner and the murderer preyed on this.

The murderer was sentenced to life imprisonment on Monday, October 23, 2023.

Our community needs to do better for older LGBT+ people and offer support and dignity.

Leitrim Pride has and will always be a place of coming home to community and building better connections for me. As such I'll be supporting Leitrim Pride for Tesco Ireland Community Fund here in Leitrim.

If you are shopping at either Tesco Carrick-on-Shannon or Ballinamore branches remember to pick up some tokens and get supporting!

Starting from next Monday, May 29th!!!

Pride Needs You!!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
