“The opposition to marriage equality in the north of Ireland is discriminatory and clearly out of step with the people of these islands and across Europe.”
He added: “The DUP can no longer stick their heads in the sand and block equality and rights for citizens in the North. “Marriage equality must be brought forward now.”
