同性婚姻
背景
2006年12月，愛爾蘭高等法院裁定：上議員Katherine Zappone和她的同性伴侶Ann Louise Gilligan不可以享受愛爾蘭稅法當中的夫妻報稅優惠，因為愛爾蘭憲法規定婚姻只能是一男一女的結合，就算她们在承認同性婚姻的加拿大已经办理结婚手续，但婚姻仍不被愛爾蘭方面承認[3]。2011年大選之後，愛爾蘭統一黨和愛爾蘭工黨組成聯合政府。之後聯合政府為兌現之前的選舉承諾，成立了一個憲法委員會來研究同性婚姻的可行性。2013年5月，委員會以微弱多數通過動議，建議政府推動修憲承認同性婚姻[4]。同年12月，愛爾蘭总理恩达·肯尼表示，會在2015年5月22號就相關議題進行全民公投[5]。
公投問題
下議院委員會階段通過的爱尔兰盖尔语條文是：
Féadfaidh beirt, gan beann ar a ngnéas, conradh pósta a dhéanamh de réir dlí.
下議院辯論階段通過的英文版條文是：
Marriage may be contracted in accordance with law by two persons without distinction as to their sex.
翻譯成中文的意思是：
婚姻可以依兩個性別無差異的人的意願而依法構成。
根據愛爾蘭《官方語言法》，當愛爾蘭蓋爾文版本同英文版本意思衝突的時候，以愛爾蘭蓋爾文版本為准。因此，当委員會辯論結束，公投條文第一次公佈之後，記者兼專欄作家布魯斯·阿諾德在《愛爾蘭時報》上邊發表文章，指出愛爾蘭蓋爾文版本容易引起歧義，令人認為「只有同性可以結婚，異性就不行」[6]。最後下議院辯論階段後將條文修改成第二個版本：
Féadfaidh beirt, cibé acu is fir nó mná iad, conradh a dhéanamh i leith pósadh de réir dlí.
翻譯成中文的意思是：
婚姻可以依兩個人的意願而依法構成，不论他们是不是同性都可以。[7]
結果
该提议得到了政府以及所有主要政党的支持，[8][9][10]并获得62.07％选民的赞成。[11]

亮點
- 这次公投，有大量移居海外，但是保留愛爾蘭國籍的愛爾蘭人专程回到愛爾蘭投票。他们在社交網站上用「#HometoVote」（「回家投票」）这個標籤[14]。
- Roscommon–South Leitrim選區是唯一一個反對票多過贊成票的選區。
- 由於愛爾蘭是第一個公投表決同性婚姻並獲多數人支持的國家，因此这次公投案吸引到不少國際媒體注意。
