The do gooders who pushed Same Sex Marriage through to become a law, which replaced a Civil Partnership. It discriminates against people who are not in a sexual relationship but are living together.You mean all the do gooders who voted c. 60:40 in favour of changing the constitution to allow for marriage equality?
Well we could have had both, I don't see why / how the same sex marriage lobby necessarily adversely impacts that.The do gooders who pushed Same Sex Marriage through to become a law, which replaced a Civil Partnership. It discriminates against people who are not in a sexual relationship but are living together.
What on earth are you on about?I can’t comment on what goes on in the border counties late at night.
Uncles marrying their nephews up your direction, purportedly...What on earth are you on about?
Uncles marrying their nephews up your direction, purportedly...
Matt Murphy, originally from Cashel, Co Tipperary, married Michael O'Sullivan in order for him to avoid paying inheritance tax on his home in Stoneybatter in Dublin.
same as a French Civil Solidarity Pact
They weren't uncle and nephew though, were they? It seemed like you were referring to a different instance...That's precisely why I asked him what on earth was he on about.

What "symbolism"? It's basically a binding legal contract. Practically the opposite of symbolic.To give most of the legal protections of marriage without the symbolism.
No churches, being dressed in white, changing your surname, etc.What "symbolism"?
To be fair, those are all wedding things not legal marriage things. And being done by less and less people these days.No churches, being dressed in white, changing your surname, etc.
A French PACS avoids all this and is just an appointment with a bureaucrat in a town hall.
Those are personal choices and not mandated by the marriage contract.No churches, being dressed in white, changing your surname, etc.
The pacs doesn't give the same protection as the marriage particularly in terms of inheritance/death. The partner inherits only if there is a will. And even if there's a will, they can only inherit a limited amount if there are children while a married spouse would inherit half of the assets. The amount available for the pacsed partner depends on the number of children. They don't have access to the same "widow" pension rights either.It’s a pity this isn’t available to both same- and opposite-sex couples in Ireland.

Perhaps he should as the tax level can be as high as 60 per cent.Is Alan Shatter planning on tackling French inheritance taxes next or something?
