The partner of the murdered journalist Lyra McKee urged Theresa May to legalise same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland when she met her at the funeral in Belfast last month.
“I wanted her to know that Lyra and I had a right to be treated as equal citizens in our own country. Surely that’s not too much to ask?” “We’re not a devolved state any more. We’re completely unsuccessful. It has been shown that we can’t work together, so the British government has to be our government and they have to be our voice and they have to do better.”
However, new talks to potentially restore devolution began on Tuesday amid a renewed cross-party push to resolve disagreements – including marriage equality, which Sinn Fein supports – following McKee’s death.
