-short film-

Declan Flynn was a 31-year-old man from Dublin who was chased and killed by a gang of teenagers in Fairview park, 1982, on the assumption that he was gay. The teenagers were arrested and taken to trial but were given suspended sentences and walked free, with the judge on the case stating that:

‘this could never be regarded as murder... there is no element of correction required. All of you come from good homes and experienced care and affection.’

The injustice of not only the murder but the outcome of the trial, is seen as the catalyst that sparked Ireland’s biggest gay and women’s rights movement.
