This afternoon, approximately 40,000 people are expected to take part in the Dublin Pride parade.
The parade starts at 1.45pm, with people assembling from midday, at the Garden of Remembrance and finishes at Merrion Square but already the tweets have been flying this morning.
Here are just a few of the posts including one from Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst who is in the capital city for the celebrations…
