We are supporting so many people who will participate in Dublin Pride this weekend. Many people will be travelling up from other parts of the country. I refer to the important work being done by teams and people working within the Oireachtas. A lovely Equali-TEA event was held this morning.

I also wish to highlight LiveStock, a wonderful music festival that will be happening in Aughrim. It is a fantastic festival that brings together bringing music, arts and crafts. Independent musicians such as Kíla will be appearing. There will be trad music, alternative music and many craft workshops. It is being run by Cormac Jennings, a local farmer, on his farm outside Aughrim, which is only a few miles from Ballinasloe. It is taking place on 1 and 2 July. I want to give it a word of support. It is a chance for us all to get back to normal and enjoy outdoor festivals. It is a family fun event and under-12s are welcome. Many festivals are happening around the country but it is nice to see one happening in my local area.
