:03:58. > :04:00.to use this method. It was a manifesto commitment and we take
:04:01. > :04:04.seriously what we put in our manifesto. We made it clear we would
:04:05. > :04:10.continue to support the definition of marriage and who would not be up
:04:11. > :04:14.for changing that. So, I do not know what the surprises about because it
:04:15. > :04:20.was no surprise before the election or during the election. And it is
:04:21. > :04:26.not a surprise now. For some, the issue is not just political, it is

:04:57. > :04:59.criticised Arlene Foster's remarks. I am open to discussion with the DUP
:05:00. > :05:03.and with others about how we can find a way through this because I do
:05:04. > :05:08.not think it is sustainable to block progress on this issue because some
:05:09. > :05:11.people disagree with it. Campaigners say if MLAs will not change the law,
:05:12. > :05:17.the matter could end up in the courts. If the assembly is unwilling
:05:18. > :05:21.to remove the ban on same-sex couples marrying, it will fall to
:05:22. > :05:26.the courts to stand up to the minority interests and make sure
:05:27. > :05:30.there is a solution to this ongoing issue of the patchwork of rights.
:05:31. > :05:34.Whilst the legal route is a possibility, politically this issue
:05:35. > :05:39.will not go away. Stormont has voted on equal marriage on five occasions,

:09:09. > :09:10.some brightness here and there and there will be brightness breaking
:09:11. > :09:13.through the cloud across many central and eastern parts. It is
:09:14. > :09:17.likely to stay rather damp, dull and dreary across western Scotland and
