CAMPAIGNERS for a yes vote in the upcoming Marriage Equality Referendum are to hold a public information evening for supporters in Killarney on Wednesday, April 15.

The evening is being organised by Yes Equality Kerry, who are campaigning for the right for Gays and Lesbians to be able to marry in a civil ceremony.

The public meeting is being organised to give people the opportunity to hear how this referendum affects local people.

Killarney-born Kate Moynihan from LinC and Dave Roche from the Cork Gay Men’s Project will also speak at the event which will be held in the Killarney Avenue Hotel, on Wed April 15th at 7:30pm.

Yes Equality Kerry are campaigning for marriage equality as part of a nationwide campaign to secure a Yes vote in the Marriage Equality Referendum on May 22nd. The Yes Equality Kerry campaign group is made up of volunteers from all walks of life, from all over Kerry and everyone is welcome to get involved.

Group member, Lisa Fingleton said; “We are delighted with the support we have received from all over the county. So many grandparents are telling us that they want their grandchildren to grow up in an equal Ireland, where they can marry whomever they choose. By voting in this referendum everyone has the opportunity to create this reality”.
