Macra na Feirme will be represented for the first time at this year’s Dublin Pride Festival and Parade on 29 June.
"Social inclusion is the fulcrum of Macra na Feirme values and there isn’t a better place to demonstrate this than at Pride which is a celebration of LGBTQ+ people, and families and their friends," Macra president Thomas Duffy said.
"The festival highlights the progressive work being done, but it also acknowledges that a lot more work remains. With this in mind I would encourage our members to get involved and sign up now to take part."

Those who wish to take part are being asked to fill out an online form on the Macra website to register.
"Rural Ireland has improved massively in terms of tolerance," Duffy told the Irish Farmers Journal. "However, rural Ireland, like all Ireland, still has a way to go towards a more open and inclusive society. That is why Macra is participating in Pride; to send a clear message of openness to all LGBTQ+ young people inside and outside the organisation."
