I will explain the reasoning behind that observation as I proceed. The list of religions already authorised to solemnise marriage reflects the increasingly diverse nature of our society. I have attended a good number of...

Civil Registration (Amendment) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Second and Subsequent Stages (20 Dec 2012)
