Fermoy recognised by European Parliament for leadership on the issue of LGBT+ rights
Fermoy ended it's twinning agreement with the Polish town of Nowa Deba in October last year after the Council in Nowa Deba declared the region an 'LGBT-free zone'.
Nowa Deba subsequently retracted the controversial declaration in January of this year.
The European Parliament is set to adopt a resolution declaring the entire of the EU as an LGBTQI Freedom Zone.
It's expected the vast majority of MEPs will support the resolution.
Around a third of the towns in Poland have declared themselves 'LGBT-Free Zones'.
