Landmark Case for Same Sex Marriage in Ireland

03/10/2006

There is a high profile case going on right now in Ireland challenging current marriage law. In this article you will find a link to the website of the campaigners who are challenging the Irish law and where you can find all the latest updates on this important development.

The case being brought by Katherine Zappone and Ann Louise Gilligan is about fairness and equality for all members of society - its fundamental emphasis is the respect of the rights and obligations of both married and non-married people to share their lives in an atmosphere of social and economic stability.
Although their case calls for the State's recognition of their valid Canadian marriage, the implications of such recognition are far-reaching for partnership legislation in Ireland.
