Aye, you'd think but it's to do with the constitution which never actually mentions marriage being between a man and a woman:
Article 41.3.1 of the Constitution says only that "The State pledges itself to guard with special care the institution of Marriage, on which the Family is founded, and to protect it against attack."
But this is coming from a country that allowed a blasphemy law to be introduced in 2009! Ireland is moving in the right direction, it's just that the catholic church is still trying to dig its claws in and refuses the idea that Ireland is becoming more secular.
