You are inspirations. As you make yet another attempt at having your beautiful relationship recognised, I commend you on your commitment, resilience and tenacity. You have my full support at every step. Thank you.

Ailish Whyte

I congratulate Katherine and Ann Louise on 30 years of love and commitment and wish them many more; as a married couple. I congratulate them for sharing their unselfish and inspiring journey as they fight for equality. I also want to send a clear and indignant message to the Irish Government that Civil Partnership Act is not enough: we must have marriage equality. Love and best wishes. Ailish Whyte

Michael Walsh

Just to wish you both success in the high court and every happiness in your lives together

Paul Hewett

My best to you both in your quest for equality in the eyes of the State and of your fellow citizens.

Good luck Ann-Louise and Katherine and thanks for continuing with your courageous journey which has already and will hopefully continue to improve rights for us all.

Best wishes
