Killed in the Park

In Dublin in 1982, it was still illegal to be gay. But when Declan Flynn was brutally killed in a homophobic attack at a local park, the public was outraged.

Communities united in support of the gay community, beginning a decades-long process of social change. Over 40 years later, Declan's death is considered the catalyst of Ireland's Pride movement.

Retired detective inspector Edwin Handcock has never forgotten the case. He recalls every detail of the investigation, including the discovery of the sticks used to beat Declan to death. His inquiry led to the arrest of four men and a14-year-old boy. Their prosecution sparked further anger and controversy when they were handed suspended sentences for manslaughter.

The public took to the streets in protest, with a now-famous march across the city to the site where Declan died.

His siblings, Paul, Gabrielle and Lorraine, now speak emotionally on camera for the very first time about their brother's senseless killing. Local activists and national politicians also share the impact of this attack on their own lives as members of the gay community, and on Irish society as a whole.
