| Description | Ireland is to hold a referendum on legalising gay marriage after a special convention set up to reform the Irish constitution recommended that same-sex couples in the republic be recognised in law.
The convention voted 79% in favour of full equality for same-sex marriage in Dublin on Sunday.
Under the Irish constitution any major constitutional change has to be ratified by the electorate.
The Irish Council for Civil Liberties and the Gay and Lesbian Network welcomed the endorsement of gay marriage equality. |
