here's hoping it goes through RH.
However as an ex-'Pat' (scuse the pun)I can see hwat'll happen, the church and the right wingers will turn it in to a purely 'gay' issue, and therefore bring out the worst in the voters ro achieve their aims. of course these voters will easily forget that they are voting against their sister/brother/cousin/friend who is a single parent or 'alternative' family for other reasons.
shame.
the capability for bigotry in the irish people disappoints me every time I go back to visit.
and the capability of the goverment to fool the people continues to shock..
