According to reports, the petition has been signed by a number of religious groups including the Irish Council of Imams, the Galway branch of the Reformed Presbyterian Church and the Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland. Other individuals have also signed the petition, including Quaker Richard Kimball signed the petition, and speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, he explained he is against changing the current legislation because it does not facilitate those who – for reasons of conscience – wish to define marriage in the traditional sense. He added that there are concerns as to how the law will be taught in schools in Ireland and whether they will uphold religious faith, or state law.
In response, Taoiseach Enda Kenny is quoted as saying: "The Government has made its decision very clear here in respect to the question that the people will be asked on the 22nd of May.
"That question of course is to give their approval, if they see fit and I hope they do, to allow for marriage in civil law irrespective of sexual orientation."
