This Ard Fheis reaffirms its support of equality in all of its forms and reaffirms its support for the LGBT community and commends the work of local councillors and party members throughout both the 26- and Six-County states for pushing for the extension of full marriage rights to the LGBT Community and An Phoblacht for its continued coverage of these important issues.
Therefore, this Ard Fheis calls for:

Legislation that entitles same-sex couples to marry and recognises that these couples should be given the same legal, marital and social status of opposite-sex married couples.
Constitutional rights given to opposite-sex married couples to be extended to all marriages including adoption rights.
