On 20 June Chartered Accountants Ireland launched its inaugural programme of Pride celebrations. There was building-branding in the Dublin office and a staff event on diversity & inclusion. Not only were we lucky enough to have Chartered Accountants Ireland member Brendan Byrne, Finance Director and LGBT Network Lead at Accenture Ireland, talk to us, but Sara Philips, Chair of TENI, spoke about her experience and was an inspiration to us all. We love you, Sara (you too, Brendan, of course)!

Over the summer, the Institute will be running a range of events and online resources in Dublin and Belfast.
