question:
The law was passed after a referendum in May, when the Irish state became the first in the world to legalise same-sex civil marriage by popular vote.
It is not yet known when and where the first same-sex wedding will be held.
But the first people to be affected are same-sex couples who have already wed legally abroad. Their marriages are now automatically recognised by the state.
They include Orla Howard and her wife Dr Grainne Courtney, who were married in the United States in May 2013.
The couple have been in a relationship for the last 13 years and live in Dublin with their two grown-up daughters.
"It's a terrific moment, because our marriage will be the same as any straight couple's marriage from Monday morning," Ms Howard told BBC Northern Ireland.
"It will bring all of the rights and protections that marriage brings, from the constitutional point of view, to our family and that's one of the key things for us."
Same-sex couples who are seeking to wed for the first time will be able to do so from Monday onwards, but it is not yet known who is in line to make legal history by marrying a person of the same sex in a Republic of Ireland ceremony.
The first newlyweds are likely to be couples who had already applied to register a civil partnership over the coming hours or days, but who now have the option to convert this into a marriage application for the same date.
Registrars have been contacting couples who fall into this category to find out their preferences.
People who are already in a civil partnership in the Republic of Ireland can now also choose get married, but they must give at least five day's notice of their intentions to a civil registration office.
Civil partners who do not wish to get married will remain as civil partners, their legal status will not be affected by the new law.
However, new applications for civil partnerships are no longer being accepted.
The Marriage Act 2015 only applies to civil marriage, and no Irish church or religious organisation that objects to the new law will be forced to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies.
The Catholic Church and other Christian organisations had campaigned against the legislation, arguing marriage should only be between a man and woman.
answer:
Same-sex marriage has now become legal in the Republic of Ireland, after new legislation came into effect on Monday.


question:
BB has hired a US lawyer, but has not yet filed a lawsuit.
In February, hackers succeeded in instructing the New York Fed to transfer money from BB's account to accounts in The Philippines.
After the theft, the NY Fed said the breach did not occur in its system.
It also said that the payments were vetted through the "standard authentication protocols."
"To date, there is no evidence of any attempt to penetrate Federal Reserve systems in connection with the payments in question, and there is no evidence that any Fed systems were compromised," the bank said in a statement.
Criminal charges were filed in Manila against two suspects, on Tuesday.
The cyber heist is one of the largest ever committed.
According to a report seen by Reuters, the BB is "preparing the ground to make a legitimate claim for the loss of funds against the [Federal Reserve Bank of New York] through a legal process".
The report from the BB alleges that 35 sets of payment transfer instructions were sent to the New York Fed, 30 of which were rejected by the US bank.
The incident has led to the resignation of Bangladesh's central bank governor Atiur Rahman.
Bangladeshi investigators are still combing through the central banks' systems for more evidence and US investigators have stepped in to help.
answer:
Bangladesh Bank (BB) - the country's central bank- is considering filing a lawsuit against the Federal Reserve Bank of New York after cyber hackers stole $81m (£57m) from its account.


question:
Bridgend MP Madeleine Moon said rules which mean some pensioners lose cash if they remarry or live with a new partner were "putting a price on love".
She said one couple, aged 75 and 80, were living 100 miles apart because one of the pair receives a widow's pension.
Policing Minister Brandon Lewis said pensions must be fair and sustainable.
Under the 1987 Police Pension Scheme, police widows and widowers who remarry, or move in with a partner, have their pensions revoked.
In 2015, the UK government amended the rules to make an exception for spouses of officers killed in the line of duty, but only if they remarried or moved in with a partner after 1 April that year.
Labour MP Ms Moon said ministers should not "seek to profit" by "condemning 22,000 widows to a life of loneliness and isolation" through the loss of police pensions.
Referring to one couple affected by the ruling, she said: "They want to spend their twilight years together without financial penalty - why are they being denied that right?
"We have to stop putting a price on love, and this government has to make sure that the widows and widowers, and their children, have access to the pension rights that were put there to protect them for the future."
Responding for the government, Mr Lewis said it recognised the risks faced by police officers as part of their job, pointing to the changes to the pension rules in 2015.
But he said there was a difference with the armed forces, where the "mobile nature" of life made it difficult for the partners of service personnel to provide for their own financial future.
"The same combination of risk to life of the member and disruption to family life can not be said to apply to other public service workforces," Mr Lewis said.
"In the case of police officers, we do not believe it would be justified to make the same changes for all survivors of police officers."
He added: "We have made clear our commitment to ensuring that public service pensions are affordable, sustainable and fair," saying this applied to taxpayers as well as scheme members.
answer:

An elderly couple are spending their "twilight years" apart because of a "petty injustice" on police pensions, a Welsh MP has told the Commons.
