Poster from LGBT Ireland titled “LGBT Ireland Support Services Christmas Opening Times.” It includes a message acknowledging that Christmas can be a difficult time and reassures people that support is available. A rainbow-themed Christmas tree illustration appears on the left. On the right, the National LGBT Helpline opening times are listed: Christmas Eve 6.30pm–10pm; Christmas Day closed; St Stephen’s Day 4pm–8.30pm; 27 December 4pm–6pm; 28 December 4pm–6pm; 29 December 6.30pm–10pm; 30 December 6.30pm–10pm; New Year’s Eve 6.30pm–8pm; New Year’s Day closed. At the bottom, it states that the LGBT Helpline (1800 929 539) and online chat at lgbt.ie are available over the Christmas and New Year period, with Samaritans available outside these times at 116 123.
