Speaking to 'Yes' campaigners in Waterford, Ms Ní Riada said that every vote will count in the upcoming Referendum. She added: "This referendum is about equality, no matter what way you dress it up. At its core, it is about ensuring all people, and all couples, have access to equal rights, dignity and respect.
"I have had several discussions with young LGBT and Sinn Féin activists about the campaign and the recurring theme is that our major challenge will be to get the voters out on the day.
"There are no foregone conclusions in elections and referendums, and I am calling on young people in particular to make sure they get out and vote on May 22nd.
"Marriage equality is a necessary step on our road towards an Ireland of equals, where all are respected and cherished for their worth. Discrimination against people because of their sexual orientation can no longer have a place in our legal system."
Same-sex couples in Ireland have been able to enter a civil partnership since January 2011, but not marriage. A referendum to decide whether such marriages should be allowed in the country will be held on 22 May.
