Margaret Gill and the Late Late Show

With Regards to this post and Margaret Gill's interview on the Late Late show last friday,
Video footage is now available online via the RTE website.

Real Player is required yet again-I will be long dead and gone waiting for RTE to use WMP as an alternative to Real Player which I love but it does not work behind a HEA server! At least with WMP you don't need proxies!

Margaret Gill to speak on Late Late Show

For those of you who are not aware of who Margaret Gill is, I can honestly say from personal experience that she is a woman whom I admire greatly for her courage and conviction brought out by unfortunate circumstances. You can see a clip from her Prime Time interview on the RTE website. She is a truly remarkable woman and I look forward to seeing her on tomorrow show. She spoke at the MarriagEquality lunch a couple of weeks ago and she had the entire audience captivated by her frank discussion. A truly inspirational woman.

Supporting LGBT Lives in Ireland: A Study of Mental Health and Well-Being

www.LGBTlives.ie

GLEN in collaboration with BeLonG To Youth Project have commissioned researchers from Trinity College Dublin and University College Dublin to conduct the first significant study of LGBT mental health and well-being in Ireland. The study is funded by the National Office for Suicide Prevention.

The aim is to identify risk and resilience factors for LGBT mental health and suicide and to develop a model of best practice for LGBT mental health promotion and suicide prevention in an Irish context.

The online survey component of the study will explore various aspects of LGBT people’s lives in Ireland such as school, work, coming out, use of health care services and mental health. The online survey will go live on Thursday 1^st November 2007 and will run for approximately two months.
