[Christianity Today UK] April 5, 2006--Irish PM Ahern has commented that it would be more difficult to legalise gay marriage in Ireland than it had been in the UK. Ireland's constitution has a clause requiring the predominantly Roman Catholic state to protect the institution of marriage, whereas the UK, which includes neighbouring Northern Ireland, has no written constitution.
