Many of us do not anticipate getting much sleep on the night of 5...

Rónán Mullen: That is where a lot of people are wondering if this a case of taking an inch and stealing a yard. I do not think sexual identity - I put my head on the block here - is referred to in the equal status legislation. That is a very nebulous term.

Rónán Mullen: I will offer a quick word in defence of parents. The people who put their names to this very reasonable letter - Sandra Adams, Julie Anne Collins, Mennatallah Hassan and Niamh Rushe - deserve great credit for putting together a reasoned letter in which they point to particular things that need to be addressed.
