Micheál Martin TD said that a yes vote in the referendum on May 22nd would be "an important reaffirmation of the positive role of marriage in our society".
Fianna Fáil is running a nationwide campaign which includes canvassing, public meetings, posters, leaflet drops and a strong online campaign.
Deputy Martin commented: "We believe that extending the right to marry to same sex couples is a basic matter of fairness. It is a further step forward in the task of building a republic which recognises and supports the rights of all of its citizens.
"I am very proud that the decriminalisation of homosexuality, banning of hate speech against homosexuals, equal status protection, employment equality rights and finally civil partnerships for same sex couples were all enacted by Fianna Fáil ministers. As a society these changes have strengthened us. By the recognising and vindicating the rights of people of different sexual orientations every group has benefitted.
"The challenge in a democratic republic is to understand that you must always be open to change. You can never reach a moment where you say that our laws and attitudes must now be frozen in time. You also must never sit back and be satisfied with the rights you hold if they are denied to others."
