Bernárd Lynch, what a wonderful man, living and supporting so many - including friends - through the horrors of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in New York in the 1980s.

Today, in the presence of Tonie Walsh and other activists from here in Ireland, his papers were formally handed over to the National Library of Ireland, to preserve so much history and so many histories.
