• The Galas set to take place in Dublin on 7th October
  
  The Galas, Ireland’s only LGBTQ+ awards programme, is open for nominations. Organised by the National LGBT Federation, the NXF, and GCN, Ireland’s leading media outlet and information service for the LGBTQ+ community, the awards acknowledge the contribution of individuals, companies and organisations and their work to make Ireland, and the world, a better place for the LGBTQ+ community.
  
  This year the Galas will take place on Saturday, 7th October in the Round Room in the Mansion House, and 2023 will mark a first return of the awards since 2020.
  
  Commenting today, Anna Nolan, Chair of the NXF, said: “The Galas are back for the first time in three years, and we are excited to host an inspiring, uplifting and positive event for the LGBTQ+ community in Ireland. In the context of increasing threats against our community both at home and abroad, it is important to shine a light on and celebrate the positive impact of those who advocate for LGBTQ+ rights.
  
  “We’re encouraging people throughout Ireland to help us celebrate the community and nominate the individuals, organisations and companies who have had a positive impact on the LGBTQ+ community over the past two years.”
