Speaking ahead of a visit to Dublin on Tuesday, Mr O’Malley, a regular visitor to Ireland, told The Irish Times at a Democratic Party convention in South Carolina that he expects Ireland’s same-sex marriage referendum to pass.


The 52-year-old Democrat is expected to announce his candidacy for his party’s presidential nomination next month, possibly at an event in Baltimore, the city he ran as mayor from 1999 to 2007. His tenure as governor of Maryland ended in January, after he completed a two-term limit.
