Ireland has legalised same-sex marriage

"Some 62% of the Irish Republic’s electorate voted in favour of gay marriage. The result means that a republic once dominated by the Catholic church ignored the instructions of its cardinals and bishops. The huge Yes vote marks another milestone in Ireland’s journey towards a more liberal, secular society."

I had no idea there was such a shift in Ireland defying the Catholic Church.
Fantastic news.

Edit:
The Irish are Walking Away From Religion
