White Welcomes Yes Vote In Marriage Equality Referendum
Ministers Howlin, Humpreys and White, Tánaiste Burton and John Lyons TD celebrate at Dublin Castle
By extending the rights and responsibilities of marriage we have made an enormous statement – to ourselves and to the world – that Ireland is a modern, generous and inclusive country that values all its citizens equally. I am particularly pleased that my own constituency provided such a clear endorsement for marriage equality, with 49,109 people in Dublin South voting yes to the proposal put before them, the highest number of yes votes of any constituency.
