    Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has today re-opened the refurbished Outhouse community centre for Dublin's gay community.
    The centre is in a Georgian building at 105 Capel Street and now includes a cafe and office space for groups focusing on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) issues.
    Speaking shortly after 3pm Mr Ahern said that his Government is intent on offering greater support for same sex couples and that legislation for civil partnerships is imminent.
    As well as a nice place to chill, I see the little bit at the end (which I bolded)... some hope for ye who want to tie the knot somehow.

    I'm guess the Greens will be pushing for it.

    And so should the rest of us! If I or my partner die soon, the remaining one is left in sh*t, treated as strangers (in law) after 30 years together!:mad: We are seriously thinking of moving to Spain where we will be treated equally.

    It's part of the Programme for Government, which is, to some extent, binding. The Greens will make governing very difficult for FF if they pull out on civil partnerships.

    "pull out on civil partnerships" sounds like an old idea for safe sex and so like FF/Catholic church way of dealing with things.
