Following the success of the Marriage Referendum in May, new marriage legislation has been introduced to the Dáil today.
Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald has introduced the Bill.
Chairwoman of Marriage Equality, Gráinne Healy said:
“The introduction of the Marriage Bill into the Dáil today is a welcome milestone in the long road towards full equality for same-sex couples in Ireland.“We would now encourage our parliamentarians to ensure the swift passage of the legislation through the Houses of the Oireachtas so that the resounding Yes vote delivered by the Irish people in last May’s Marriage Equality referendum becomes a reality as quickly as possible.“This legislation clears the path for the first same-sex marriages to take place in Ireland, hopefully in a matter of weeks.”
Ms Healy also welcomed the fact that marriages between same-sex couples that have taken place in other countries will be recognised under the new Bill.
