South Dublin Mayor Fintan Warfield addresses Sinn Féin Ard Fheis on Marriage Equality Referendum


I know yiz'r facebook pages have been saturated with yes campaigners but I'd be a lousy activist if I didn't hound you one last time. Please make sure to vote tomorrow and ask your friends if they have voted. A no vote would be a devastating blow to young people. This campaign has seen such positive representations of the LGBT community. The impact of that visibility for our community and people in the closet, cannot be underestimated. For me, this referendum is about making it as easy as possible for people to identify with their true sexuality. Vote yes! xxx
