Bishop accuses Government of misleading over yes vote

The Catholic Bishop of Elphin Kevin Doran has accused the Government of misleading the public over the impact of the marriage equality referendum.

Bishop Doran said that, contrary to what the Government claimed, the vote on May 22 would fundamentally change the position of children.

“The Government has been trying to pull the wool over people’s eyes on this. What’s actually happening in the referendum, if it’s passed, is that because there is a redefinition of marriage, there’s also a redefinition of parenthood.
