Sir, – I never thought that Fianna Fáil would be a leading proponent and supporter of the introduction of gay marriage and as a result I view the tone and content of Micheál Martin’s questioning of the Taoiseach on the subject as cynical and politically self-serving.
This is an extremely sensitive and emotive subject, not least for those who wish to enter into such marriage, and I would ask our politicians to leave politics aside and deal with the matter in a non-partisan manner. – Yours, etc,
