Ireland could be the first country to legalise same-sex
marriage as polling stations across Ireland have opened for the referendum, the
first time a nationwide vote has been held on the issue.
A report said on Friday in Dublin that people are to vote
Yes or No to an amendment to the constitution which states, “Marriage may be
contracted in accordance with law by two persons without distinction as to
their sex.”
It said polling stations opened at 7am and are scheduled to
remain open until 10pm.
