Noise was founded in November 2008 to campaign for the introduction of gay civil marriage legislation in Ireland. It is an independent, non-politically affiliated organisation that hopes to reach out to all people, gay or straight, who believe in equality and human rights for all. Noise believes that unless people make enough NOISE, the government will continue to allow discrimination against same-sex couples in Ireland.
