Among the attendees was Dr Lydia Foy, who's the LGBT person of the year. She won a landmark case earlier this year when the High Court found that one of Ireland's laws was 'incompatible' with the European Convention on Human Rights. Well, technically, the High Court's finding dates from 2007, but the government finally dropped its appeal this year, and set up an inter-departmental committee on the legal recognition of transsexuals.
Lydia brought her case in 1997; it was a long, long road. (Link to the breaking news article in the Irish Times).

Well done Orls, lovely message. Karenx
Big smile! :-)
Thanks, hon XXX
I had to look "numinous" up in the dictionary ...... so now I've found a blog that can fill the space left empty by the "It Pays to Improve Your Wordpower" section in The Reader's Digest. Just kidding. Impossible to see your writing alongside the ads for Birkenstocks, support tights, zimmer frames and prune juice. Keep up the good work!
