Civilisation, one step at a time.
Yesterday, the Civil Partnership Bill passed the Dáil without a vote.
It passed the Dáil without a vote because all the sitting parties support the Bill. And while it doesn't go nearly as far as I'd like, and while some TDs from down the country have made comments that make me want to shake them -
By the end of the year, we'll have a Civil Partnership Act.
Most of the time, I want to shake my country until it can start behaving in a sensible fashion. But occasionally, very occasionally, it does make me hopeful.
