Apologies for the lack of updates, I am currently studying in France for the year, and settling in has taken a lot of time and energy. In a wonderful turn of events, Daragh and I will both be appearing on the couches of the Late Late Show this Friday. It’s all on the basis of the media attention that we received about a month ago, and more specifically the Today with Pat Kenny show. It starts at 9.30pm on RTÉ One. We’ll be talking about ourselves, our family and the Civil Partnership Bill. It should be good fun, so make sure to tune in and show your support!
I hope to do another update soon comparing different countries around the world on the basis of recognition of same-sex relationship . Check back here within the next week, or just sign up to the RSS feed.

Good Luck Conor, I’ll ask everyone I can to tune in.
Best of luck with your studies in France and if you think of anything that I can help with let me know. I’ll be checking out the “What can you do” link also.

I will be spreading the word as much as I can from here. Just wanted to drop some words of support here. I admire what you are doing so very much!

I wish the country of my birth would grow the hell up. This reminds me of how so-called “bastards” were marginalized for years and could not inherit. Now this has filtered over to same-sex couples’ children. I am enraged! Assigning any citizen a lesser status in society is criminal.
Good luck on the show, the more who hear about this injustice, the better!!!

Hi Conor!
Wow, got to see Late Late finally, RTE can be slow about putting up links for us expats to enjoy.
All I can say is you did the community proud, thank you for opening the minds of the Plank Kenny audience to the situation as it exists today.
Your parents are brilliant, and you and your brother came across as miles ahead of that buffoon and his Foot-In-Mouth ways.
Thanks for your bravery and your eloquence.

Hello Conor,
Conortje was true to his word.The man has reach….or so I hear.
Great stuff out of you and you parents.It’s a long fight but a just one.
Have to tell you the story of getting my kids on the Foreign Born Registry sometime.
“Sure how can you be the father ? Wha? ”
Keep up the good work Comrade.
