Brilliant…

To celebrate Dublin LGBTQ Pride 2017,  Dublin Bus had a bus specially wrapped in the Pride flag.

The bus is part of an overall campaign to ‘Get on board with Pride’ and celebrate Pride week and employee diversity in Dublin Bus and it will feature in the annual Dublin LGBTQ Pride parade.

You can see the result below, which we think will go down very well.

Speaking at the launch of the bus, Dublin Bus Chief Executive, Ray Coyne outlined their delight at joining in: “We are delighted to support another year of Dublin Pride. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion stems from our Equality and Diversity strategy that was first introduced in 2003. We are a diverse workforce serving a diverse community.”

The LGBTQ Pride parade will take place on June 24, and will start at 2pm, although the crowd will begin gathering from 11am.

It will start from St. Stephen’s Green South and march all the way down to Smithfield.

You can find out more information on the parade here.
