"Same-sex couples will be able to avail of legally-binding civil partnerships for the first time from next year.
The Dáil last night completed its work on the Civil Partnership Bill, which is expected to be signed into law in the autumn.
The Bill passed all stages in the Dáil shortly after 8.40pm, without the need for a vote, and will be sent to the Seanad. There was applause from the public gallery.
Under the terms of the Bill, marriage-like benefits will be extended to gay and lesbian couples across a range of areas such as property, social welfare, succession, maintenance, pensions and tax.
Once the Civil Partnership legislation is fully enacted and implemented, gay and lesbian couples will be able to register their relationship before a registrar, as long as the partners are over 18 and not involved in any other unions."

I'm delighted.
Its about time Ireland had this.
Gay Pride FTW!

(Yes, as you can see, I'm a gay pride supporter! Booyah!)
