Brighid and Paddy from Dundalk are devout Catholics who have been married for 50 years – watch them discuss how, as grandparents, they hope their grandchildren are “protected and treated as equals” in the eyes of the law.

Says Paddy:

Twenty years ago I probably would have voted no. But now that I know gay people and see the love and joy they can bring to life, I will be voting yes.

Pass the tissues.
