VIDEO 'We're Roman Catholics, 50 years married... and we're voting yes'

This video of Brighid and Paddy is being shared by the Vote With Us campaign.

PADDY FROM DUNDALK tells us in the below video that 20 years ago he “probably would have voted no” in the upcoming same sex marriage referendum.

“Now that I know gay people, and can see the love and the joy they can give to life, and I will be voting yes,” he continues.

His wife of 50 years, Brighid, urges voters to treat all people equal.

Watch more from them in the video below.
