We are deeply saddened at the sudden passing last weekend of Dave Roche, a prominent activist and supporter of the student movement and LGBT Community in his native Cork and beyond.

Dave addressed over 300 students as the opening speaker of USI LGBTI+ Pink Training last November, and spoke passionately about the building of support networks for people who were coming out or needed support of any kind.

We have today opened an online book of condolences for those who cannot attend services for Dave in Cork, please feel free to add your thoughts. Sign the online book of condolences by clicking here.
