Clare Bailey, the deputy leader of the Green Party, has announced her support for Love Equality's renewed call for marriage equality in Northern Ireland.
The South Belfast MLA said: "Delivering marriage Equality has been a prominent policy position of the Green Party. Indeed, Steven Agnew first raised the matter in the Assembly back in 2012.
"Unfortunately, the Petition of Concern has been misused to deny the rights of our LGBT citizens.
"There has been much speculation about the new Assembly's approach the issue of marriage equality. However, without functioning institutions, the decision making will not lie in local hands.
"The Green Party will continue to work with other parties and interest groups to advance marriage equality at every turn."
Currently, Northern Ireland is the only region in the UK where same-sex marriage is against the law.
