Deputy Michael McNamara was one of a number of TDs who contributed to the debate in Leinster House yesterday, as the government moves to formalise the results of May's referendum.

He used his speech to call for civil partnershships to be maintained, allowing both straight and gay couples to commit to each other without entering into a marriage.
