Yes Equality campaigners have set their targets on ending the State-allowed ban on gay teachers in certain religious-run schools and beefing up transgender rights on the back of the success of the same-sex marriage referendum.

There’s a great untapped appetite for real action to protect human rights and equality, writes Mark Kelly.

Aodhán Ó’Riordáin was last night asked to remove a Yes Equality badge from his collar during a live broadcast of the Saturday Night Show.

The country’s most senior Catholic cleric has said the Church may have to stop providing marriage preparation courses if the marriage equality referendum is passed.
