The High Court will give judgment today on a landmark action by a lesbian couple aimed at having their marriage in Canada recognised as valid here or, alternatively, securing the right to marry here.
The case raised significant issues about the meaning of marriage under the Constitution and issues concerning the entitlements of same sex couples under the tax Acts.
The action was brought by Katherine Zappone, a public policy consultant, and Ann Louise Gilligan, an academic, against the Revenue Commissioners and the State.
It ran for eight days last October and Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne reserved her decision. Judgment will be given this morning.
