Going to mention this a few times over the next 5 years but there isn't a single woman representing the entirety of Limerick.
In over 100 years, Limerick City has only had 2 women TDs. While Limerick County has had NONE ever.

Despite attempts to address it, such as increasing the gender quota to 40%, Dáil Éireann has the worst gender diversity in western Europe.
Out of 174 seats in last month's general election, 44 went to women in a representation of slightly more than 25%.

I’m taking Sinn Féin topping the poll as the only enjoyable thing we’re going to get in this shitshow of #GE24. The more things don’t change, the more they stay the same. Fuck you 40.5% of the electorate 👌

The degree to which right-wing commentators and politicians in this country backed Conor McGregor to the hilt should not be forgotten. They are who they showed us they are.
