Google workers in Ireland have said they will be voting Yes in the same-sex marriage referendum.

The internet giant has put a video together, showing why they will be ticking the Yes box on May 22nd.

In a statement, Ronan Harris - the head of Google in Ireland - said: "While we respect the strongly-held beliefs that people have on both sides of this debate, we see this fundamentally as an issue of equality."

"We hope that people will vote yes so everyone, whatever their sexuality, is free to marry the person they love," he added.

Under the tagline of 'Freedom to marry the one you love', Googlers living and working in Ireland talk about why they feel marriage equality is important.

Google follows social media giant Twitter, who announced last month that it would also be backing the Yes side.
