Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

He is setting two standards, although I may be incorrect. This section illustrates my argument as to why we should have gone for full civil marriage. In that case there would be full rights across the board. I will not take up time today on the issue but this is one instance where there is a failure to deliver full rights to civil partnership and an approach of civil marriage would have had a better effect in this case and been more equal for all involved.
