Francis Timmons is an Independent Councillor for Clondalkin on South Dublin County Council. For Francis, 2015 is the year to be proud and live with pride; and the year to fight for equality and against homophobia.

“I don’t feel the need to thank people for giving the LGBT community human rights – they’ve earned their rights as human brings, and every time any government fails to enact equal laws and equal rights, they fail society.
