The band’s final Dublin show was not to be missed, with Bono referring to Panti as Dr Panti Bliss and saying, “Trailblazing on marriage equality in the country, now the country is trailblazing marriage equality in the world.”
The U2 frontman also gushed that the passing of the marriage equality act made him feel “so proud to be Irish”.
“We are putting the gay into Gaelic,” he said.
“Would the queen of Ireland be able to take another queen walking beside her on the stage? Dublin’s very own queen of rock’n’roll, Imelda May. Here she comes.”
