Had the same thing happen with a friend and a gay cousin and it makes me soo proud too feel that they can finally feel equal, whether or not the whole vote thing goes out the window, but the fact they now truly feel accept is very very special

At the end of the day we are all human we all have feelings and this is a day too be proud that others are understood and supported that we have gathered around them too support them and say we value you in our lives you are part of our lives gay or straight we value you in our lives and can say that you are equal as we are equal too you!!

I'm watching the live results here and have to admit getting quite emotional, I'm so happy for anyone who ever felt like a second class citizen to be vindicated and finally see that this country for one accepts you for who you are and who you were born to be

I have two gay cousins who struggled with their sexuality growing up, both are in long term committed relationships and plan to marry when this bill is passed

I'm so proud of Ireland for taking the stance and doing the right thing. Love is hard enough to find so why stop two people who love each other marrying regardless of their sex

This is a wonderful day

Maybe the laws in this respect will need attention when certain cases come before the courts ?I abstained from voting on this occasion,it doesn't affect me at all,I see it as a push too far and also view it as a Government on the back foot trying to glean votes in the next general election to try to make up for bad economic choices of the past and negotiations of the present,it's a smokescreen.

Trying to glean votes is a poor argument. The gay population of the country is estimated to be between 2.5% and 3% at most, and they don't all have votes. If you were trying to cynically buy votes, the gay community wouldn't be your first port of call.

Yes: 1,201,607

No: 734,300

The gleaning of votes,a yes vote of 1.2+ million does not tally with the 3% gay community so my reading of it would be that it is a populist return,bolstered by those affected by the issue.

Right, so the fact that all the main parties were pushing for it doesn't count? I'm sorry but your argument doesn't stack up at all. Votes in a referendum don't mean anything in a general election.
