Paul Murphy is an Anti-Austerity Alliance TD for Dublin South West and a member of the Socialist Party. He’s certain that voters won’t be tempted into voting against this referendum if they don’t like the current Government – people are more intelligent and more compassionate than that.

“I think people know that the best way to strike a blow against the establishment in this country is to vote Yes. It would be a clear statement in favour of equal rights; against discrimination. It would be another blow pushing back against the homophobia that still is fairly widespread in our society.”
