IPRT will launch a new report on the rights, needs and experiences of LGBT people in prison in Ireland on Tuesday 2nd February 2016 in the Wood Quay Venue, Christchurch, Dublin 8. The event will run from 10.30-12.00.

- Brian Sheehan, Executive Director of GLEN (Gay and Lesbian Equalty Network); and

This new 46-page report is based on research commissioned by the IPRT and conducted by Dr Nicola Carr, Dr Siobhán McAlister and Dr Tanya Serisier of Queen’s University Belfast. The qualitative study examines: the policy and practice context in Ireland; LGBT people in prison; transgender prisoners; and the consequences of heterosexism, homophobia, and transphobia. The research comprised a desk-based literature review; interviews with stakeholders, prisoners and ex-prisoners; and a focus group in prison.
