Whatever one's views on the recent civil partnership legislation – and there were sincerely-held views on both sides – the behaviour of the Green Party in having a public celebration outside Leinster House smacked of intolerant triumphalism in the extreme. So much for tolerance and pluralism. To the liberal left it would appear that, ironically, such civilities are only to be extended to those who comply with their agendas.
