Timeline
Declan Flynn (1951 – 9 September 1982) was an Irish gay man attacked and killed in Fairview Park in Dublin.
His murder is seen as the catalyst for the LGBTQ Pride movement in Ireland.
His death came about as a result of a series of beatings meted out to gay men in Dublin who used Fairview Park as a meeting place at the time.
Flynn was an Aer Rianta worker in Dublin who lived on Swords Road, Whitehall, Dublin.
Flynn was known to young gay activists, though not very well.
Flynn had helped out on occasion at the Hirschfeld Centre in the nascent Temple Bar, a resource centre for the gay community, but was spotted there infrequently.
He was on the centre's social committee and volunteered at its café.
Flynn's family, who lived near the park on the Swords Road, did not know that he was gay.
Nor did they know he frequented places where other young gay men went to find sexual partners.
A series of homophobic beatings was carried out in Fairview Park during the summer of 1982.
Fairview Park was a popular gay cruising area at that time.
On the night of 9 September 1982, Flynn had gone with a friend to Belton's Pub in Donnycarney, a short distance from his home.
When he left the pub around 11:45 that night, he spoke for a while with his friend and then walked home along Collins' Avenue to Swords Road, before making his way through Fairview Park.
Along the way Flynn called to the Fairview Grill where he met with a male friend who gave him a peck on his cheek as they were parting.
His body was found badly beaten about the head in Fairview Park on the morning of 10 September 1982 and was taken to Blanchardstown Hospital.
Initial reports were that he had died as a result of head injuries.
Gardaí initially worked on the theory that he died after being robbed as he carried no identification nor money.
At the inquest, the coroner heard that North Strand Depot Fire Station received a call at 1:45 am on 10 September to go to Fairview Park.
They arrived at 1:48 am and found Flynn, his body still warm but there was no sign of life or a pulse.
He was brought to Blanchardstown Hospital, being the only hospital on call on the north side of the city.
The pathologist said that it would have made no difference if Flynn had been brought to another hospital.
He went on to say that if the blood which had built up in Flynn's respiratory system had been removed quickly he might have lived, but this would have had to be done on the spot.
On Sunday, 12 September 1982, a 14-year-old juvenile was charged with Flynn's murder at a special sitting of Dublin District Court at the Bridewell.
He was remanded in custody.
The beatings were carried out by a gang of 5 men:
As Flynn lay dying, £4 from his pocket and his watch were stolen.
Applications were made for separate murder trials for each of the five which was turned down by the Central Criminal Court on 22 February 1983.
The murder trial of the 14-year-old commenced on 1 March 1983.
Maher, Armstrong, Kavanagh and Donovan pleaded guilty to manslaughter and their sentencing was put back until the conclusion of the murder trial against the 14-year-old.
The 14-year-old gave a statement to Gardaí concerning the killing.
In the statement which was opened in Court at the murder trial, he said that he had gone to see a friend in Donnycarney on the night of the 9 September and left at midnight cycling down Malahide Road.
Whilst cycling through Fairview Park he saw a gang and he went over to see them.
One of the gang said to him: "Hide behind a tree. We are going to bash a queer".
After hiding his bike, he joined the gang to hide behind a tree.
One of the gang went and sat alone on a bench.
His statement went on to say that a man (Declan Flynn) approached one of the gang on the bench.
Following contact between the men, Flynn fled running away and he heard someone shout "Get him."
One of the other accused then tripped the man.
The 14-year-old said that he had a skinny branch as a weapon and the others had sticks.
