Sinn Fein is to seek Democratic Unionist Party support for a public consultation on a Bill to introduce same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland, the party's Finance Minister has said.

A DUP veto is currently preventing a change in the law to allow gay marriage in the region.

Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK or Ireland to still maintain a ban.
