Sinn Féin Welcomes Marriage Equality

Sinn Féin Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh has welcomed a bill providing marriage equality for same-sex couples. Speaking during a debate on the Marriage Bill 2015, Senator Ó Clochartaigh said: "Today is a momentous occasion and brings an end to a two-tier system of marriage inequality. It is hard to put into words the effects the bill this will have on the lives of thousands of people and their families.

"I have no doubt that in years to come the 23rd of May will be seen as one of Ireland's proudest moments. The referendum result of 22 May 2015 changed lives forever and was the result of a long hard fought campaign by gay rights activists. I salute them and acknowledge their historic struggle."

In May, a referendum was held in Ireland other whether to legalise gay marriage, with an overwhelming majority in support of amending the law. It is thought the first same-sex marriages will be held in Ireland later this year.
