As previously announced the Second stage debate on the Civil Partnership Bill will take place on Thursday evening. I’ve had many queries from those who cannot make it to the Dáil to watch about how they can see what is going on (The fact I watch a lot of Dáil live feed seems to amuse many! Well I told you it would come in useful!)

It should all kick off at 6.45 pm – there is a demonstration from LGBT Noise outside at 6pm.

I’ve set up a live blog for the debate and you can watch/listen to the feed and participate in the commentary.

If you just want to watch the debate without the wit, banter and outrage of the viewing masses then you can watch it here.

If you would like to embed the liveblog on your own site please let me know and I can send you the code. (If you want to see what it would look like have a look after the more bit at the end of this post.)

If you are at the debate itself and want to tweet –  the tag is #cpbill and we’ll incorporate the tweets into the blog.  Blog posts, video, photos etc. are also very welcome.

So please spread the word to your friends who might be interested in seeing it and contributing to the event online and see you on Thursday evening.
