Paul Merton paid a visit to Cork Pride in 2009 and filmed our Parade as part of his Paul Merton in Europe TV series that showed on Channlel 5 in the UK.
Finally, Paul heads back to the ‘rebel’ county of Cork. Until 1993 homosexuality was illegal in Ireland – but Paul is heartened to see a huge celebration of gay pride on the streets of one of Ireland’s most traditional cities, the city of Cork. Paul meets David Roche, head of the Cork Gay Project, to see just how much Ireland has changed since his childhood days.
