Michael McNamara (IND), Clare

Article 41.3 of the Constitution states: "The State pledges itself to guard with special care the institution of marriage ... and to protect it against attack". If the referendum proposals are accepted by the people and passed, will there be favourable measures that apply to married couples that will not apply to persons in a durable relationship? What favourable measures that apply to married couples now will continue in the event that this is passed?
