“Those who have already given notice for a civil partnership will be able to get married instead. It will give effect to last May's referendum in which 62% voted in favour of same-sex marriage. Since then, 187 same-sex couples have registered to have a civil partnership. Those who have been married abroad will automatically have their marriage recognized.”
Congrats to Ireland!
