On Thursday’s Morning Focus we looked at how the University of Limerick last week launched a new initiative to reserve some of its accommodation exclusively for students who are gay or transgender.
The so-called ‘Rainbow House’ initiative is the first of its kind in Ireland. It’s been generating some debate on social media about whether or not it might actually be counter-productive in fostering a spirit of inclusion.
Colin Lynch from Carrigaholt is the Vice President for Academic Affairs at UL Student Life and he’s been involved in the debate on social media. He’s been speaking to Morning Focus producer Fiona McGarry and he began by explaining what the Rainbow House initiative at UL is.
We will bring you part two where we will hear what Mayor of Clare Cathal Crowe’s reaction.
