A motion has been passed by Wexford County Council to develop ‘rainbow’ pedestrian crossings at a number of locations in the county.
The aim is support Pride and Pride awareness in the community.
Pedestrian crossings would be painted the colours of the rainbow to represent the Pride flag.
The Pride flag is symbol of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community and the “spectrum” of human sexuality and gender.
Councillor Tom Forde made the announcement on social media.
