Ireland Marriage Equality Referendum Round-up: VIDEO

May 15, 2015 by Michael Fitzgerald

Read four of today’s nice stories on Ireland’s gay marriage referendum

YE_1

With only a week to go before Ireland's May 22nd referendum on gay marriage opinions – both negative and positive – are coming thick and fast.

Here's four of today's nicer stories: politicians pins are staying, Donegal crooner and Irish mammies' Daniel O'Donnell supports marriage equality, HAILO offering free rides to polling stations and poor old Martin explains "d'aul gays" getting married to his mam and dad.

***

Politicians who refuse to remove pins in support of marriage equality will not face any sanctions despite a long-standing rule that members, staff and visitors to government buildings are not permitted to wear emblems of a party-political nature while in the complex.

 

I'm leaving my pin on thanks very much!! @oconnellhugh http://t.co/MmPeeEHk5V

Last weekend, Minister of State for Equality Aodhán Ó Ríordáin was asked to remove a Yes Equality pin while appearing on RTÉ’s Saturday Night Show – the same show that led to the Iona Institute suing the broadcaster last year after Rory O’Neill suggested its members might be homophobic.

Amazingly done @AodhanORiordain – just shows how petrified RTÉ are of #MarRef!! pic.twitter.com/hd9qAUPtXf

He may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but Donegal singer and Irish Mammies’ favorite Daniel O’Donnell has come out in support of same-sex marriage.

 

We had a LOVELY young fella to the door about the referendum. I told him I'd give him a yes, even if he did interrupt Coronation Street …

Martin’s Life – “D’aul gays” are looking to be elected. “I suppose we’ll all have to marry a gay then.”
