Same-sex marriage will soon be legal in Republic of Ireland, following approval of a referendum on 22 May 2015 to provide in the country's constitution that marriage is recognized irrespective of the sex of the partners. The result requires ratification in the Oireachtas before going into legal effect, thus it is not yet known exactly when same-sex couples will begin marrying in the country. The 2011 Irish census revealed 143,600 cohabiting couples, up from 77,000 in 2002. This included 4,042 in same-sex relationships, up from 1,300.

abstract
  • Same-sex marriage will soon be legal in Republic of Ireland, following approval of a referendum on 22 May 2015 to provide in the country's constitution that marriage is recognized irrespective of the sex of the partners. The result requires ratification in the Oireachtas before going into legal effect, thus it is not yet known exactly when same-sex couples will begin marrying in the country. Civil partnerships, granted under the Civil Partnership and Certain Rights and Obligations of Cohabitants Act 2010, give same-sex couples rights and responsibilities similar, but not equal, to those of civil marriage (a marriage performed, recorded, and recognized by a government official). The 2011 Irish census revealed 143,600 cohabiting couples, up from 77,000 in 2002. This included 4,042 in same-sex relationships, up from 1,300.
