Working for #MoreWomen in politics. We train and support women to succeed in Irish political life.
On #InternationalWomensDay we say 'THANK YOU' to all the women who ran in #LE2024, #GE2024, #SE2025
It takes courage, stamina & hope to put yourself forward. Record numbers of women ran but still a long way to go for gender-balance in politics. #MoreMna

“There is evidence that many women were added late to the ticket to make up the gender quota.”
NWC Director Orla O'Connor says “still no breakthrough for women” & 2% increase in the number of female TDs is a marginal improvement #genderquotas

Just seven more women in new Dáil compared with 2020 election
Latest count figures show Sinn Féin has highest number of female TDs at 13, with Fine Gael next on nine – but just four women elected in Munster
