<p>7 of the 12 elected Members of the European Parliament from Ireland have signed the Pledge:</p>

This failure is a denial of thousands of citizens' right to equality under the law. Europe must act together to guarantee same sex couples the legal equality they deserve. People should not fear that they will be unable to visit their partner in hospital because of legal red tape. We must ensure that our fellow citizens have full legal protection and help bring an end to discrimination based on sexual orientation...

<p>I am happy to support such a worthwhile campaign. The legal limbo which exists for thousands of life-long couples across the EU must be brought to an end. You are pushing an open door with my office.</p>
