Tom Dunne revisits the views of Roscommon, the only constituency to vote 'No' in the referendum.

Colm O'Gorman and Tiernan Brady look at how Ireland compares to other countries around the world when it comes to same sex rights.

Shane Coleman catches up with Gráinne Healy, chair of Marriage Equality and co-director of the Together for Yes campaign.
