SF Slams DUP For 'Consistently Denying' Marriage Equality

Sinn Féin has slammed the DUP for "consistently denying" marriage equality in Northern Ireland.

MLA Carál Ní Chuilín said the ongoing denial of rights by the DUP, with the support of the British government, which are enjoyed by citizens rights across these islands is unacceptable.

She said she was also "bitterly disappointed" at a judgement in Belfast High Court today but said the fight to achieve marriage equality will go on.

She continued: "We are obviously disappointed by this decision and we know that the couples involved in this case are looking at grounds for appeal.

"I want to pay tribute to them and offer our continuing best wishes.

"However, people should not have to resort to the courts in order to access rights, which are available across western Europe.

"The fight for marriage equality will go on.

"We need to see the implementation of agreements and an end to discrimination if we are to have sustainable political institutions."
