When Cathal Mulvany was chosen Mr. Leather Ireland in January 2016. Acceptance of LGBTIQ had evolved within Irish society following the previous year’s historical passing of the Marriage Equality Referendum. But what about the Leather and Fetish community within that? Over his title year, Cathal was instrumental in securing Geared Ireland’s membership to the ECMC, which proved Ireland, had indeed, a proud fetish community. We are an evolving, young community, from a small country on the outskirts of Europe, but we are not afraid to shout about it on an international stage – Irish Fetish Stands Proud The evolution continues!

Eric has a great love for pizza and food in general, as well as quoting RuPaul’s Drag Race sensuously while having sex. Eric is an easily-distracted pup-next-door who’s looking for a good bone, er, a good home. A proud member of the North Star Kennel Club and the Titans of the Midwest, he loves being in a community that appreciates his affinity for Leather, jockstraps, and silver lamé (hey Patrick Smith). Whether helping fund raise for local LGBTQ charities or making sure his date orgasms first, Eric feels happiest when helping others; no matter what situation arises.
