The union’s ‘Yes Equality’ campaign for marriage equality was endorsed by the SIPTU West Cork District Council at a meeting in the Parkway Hotel, Dunmanway, County Cork, on Tuesday, 21st April.

The meeting heard presentations on the reasons why the union is calling for a ‘Yes’ vote in the upcoming Civil Marriage Equality Referendum from SIPTU activists.

SIPTU West Cork District Council secretary, Eddie Mullins, said: “The ‘Yes Equality’ campaign has been a major success so far with SIPTU members clearly showing their support for the union’s principled position. What we need now is members, their families, friends and neighbours in West Cork to show their support for civil marriage and come out and vote ‘Yes’ on polling day.”
