Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern announced Wednesday that his government will bring in legislation giving same-sex couples the same rights as married pairs.
The legislation would be similar to Britain's civil partnership law that gives gay and lesbian couples all of the rights of marriage except the name.
Ahern said he would push through the legislation "as soon as possible".
"This Government is committed to providing a more supportive and secure legal environment for same-sex couples," he said.
