Labour would debate for ‘Yes’ on same-sex marriage

Labour would consider taking part in a live TV same sex marriage debate with No vote campaign representatives if a station makes an offer to organise such an event.

Speaking at the launch of the party’s Yes vote campaign in Dublin city centre, Communications Minister and campaign director Alex White said he would look at any plans but said none have been presented to date.

Weekend reports said Fine Gael and Labour are coming under increasing pressure from the No campaign to publicly debate the issue before the May 22 vote, as this was promised by Mr Kenny last year.
