Gilmore: The time has come to recognise gay marriage

Labour leader Eamon Gilmore said the “time has come” to recognise gay marriage and also called for a debate about stem cell research.

The Tánaiste said the issue of same-sex marriage would be debated during talks around the Constitutional Convention later this year.

Speaking in Dublin, Mr Gilmore congratulated the organisers of Dublin Pride 2012 for a successful week.
