“We voted YES for every voice that came before

And YES for every generation yet to come”

This video script for the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade marks the 10th anniversary of that fateful vote and remembers a landmark day in Ireland, when love, respect and equal rights got a resounding ‘YES’.
