Celebrations at Dublin Castle for 1st anniversary of Marriage Equality in Ireland
The referendum was passed with 62% voting Yes for same-sex marriage
Hundreds of people gathered at Dublin Castle, to mark the 1st anniversary of the referendum for Marriage Equality.
The referendum was passed with 62% voting Yes for same-sex marriage.
In 2006, Katherine Zappone and her wife Ann Louise Gilligan unsuccessfully took a case to the High Court for their Canadian marriage to be recognised by Irish law.
The case became one of first major events in the debate on same-sex marriage in Ireland.
Katherine Zappone now Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, says the long fight for equal recognition of their marriage was worth it in the end:
