Eibhlís (Liz) and her partner of 32 years, Pat Connery, are musicians and music teachers living in Greystones, Co Wicklow. They will both be voting yes on May 22nd. Eibhlís reads a short poem she wrote describing how it feels to ask for a yes vote -to ask for equality – on the doorstep, while canvassing.

“For me, it’s about being accepted at last in my own country – a country that I love, but a country that has treated me as a second-class citizen simply because of who I happen to love.”
