Academy Award-nominated actress Saoirse Ronan says she is excited and honoured that her first vote will be for marriage equality.

The 21-year-old Carlow native is eager to encourage her fellow young people to get out and vote this Friday in the Marriage Equality referendum.

Speaking at the Yes Equality ‘Your Yes Matters get out the vote’ campaign launch, Ms Ronan said this is an opportunity for her generation to create a fair and equal society.

“I’m really excited about it and I’m really honoured that my first vote is going to be a yes vote for marriage equality,” she said.

“If it’s a yes vote it means we’re standing with the best of them. We’re forward-thinking, we’re fair, we’re just and we’re equal. If we don’t, then we’re none of those things and I would be extremely disappointed.”

Some of Ireland’s biggest stars are coming together for a new Hollywood movie.
Chris O’Dowd, Saoirse Ronan and Aidan Turner have been cast together in Vincent, a new movie about famous artist Vincent Van Gogh.

The biopic will see 60 artists create 57,800 oil paintings to make up the film, which is also starring British actor Douglas Booth.

The animated feature has already started shooting in London this week, with the movie following the final months of the famed artist.
Billed as “the world’s first painted animation feature”, the film aims to bring Van Gogh’s masterpieces to life in a way never seen before.
According to Screen Daily, live action footage will be filmed and then projected, frame by frame, onto canvas and painted over in oils in the style of Van Gogh.
