Sinn Féin LGBT has again voiced its support for marriage equality.
The comments come after the part invited Moninne Griffith, from Marriage Equality, to discuss the planned 2015 referendum on the issue.
Commenting after the information evening, Sinn Féin LGBT officer and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown county councillor Chris Curran, said: "Garnering support from across all sections of society is important in the run up to this referendum, which is rumoured to be take place in the Spring of 2015.
"Sinn Féin supports equality and that is what this referendum is about, equal access to civil marriage and the right to demonstrate their love for each other."
The Councillor also spoke of the church's apparent changing attitudes towards the issue of same-sex marriage.
"As much as the recent Catholic bishop Synod failed to endorse gay people or their 'gifts and qualities', the events in Rome mark a seismic shift in the Papal attitude towards gay people," Curran continued.
"I believe we should embrace the fact that the event even took place as it shows we're on the right road. It would have been unimaginable that such positive messaging could have come for Rome under previous Popes.
"What we need to make sure marriage equality is enshrined in our constitution, is for people to vote, that's why the fast approaching voter registration deadline is so important."
Councillor Curran added that the deadline to register to vote in the referendum is 25 November 2014.
