The list is out!! Liar, rat, buffoon, gurrier, corner boy (or girl?), scoundrel, fascist, smuggler, communist, and yahoo…some of the terms of endearment banned in the Dáil! #aginsintbréaga Moment of truth: Did Taoiseach accuse McDonald of lying?

Moment of truth: Did Taoiseach accuse McDonald of lying?

So Ireland joins Samoa, Indonesia & DRC in the club of countries where only 20% of Cabinet members are women (UNwomen.org). Meanwhile, our neighbours in Finland, Belgium, Portugal, Norway, Iceland, Netherlands & Spain, all have gender balanced Cabinets (at least 50%).

We caught up with lots of our newly-elected TDs on the plinth as they arrived in Leinster House, to hear what today means to them. They include the only TD born this century; several first-timers; a married couple; some with parents who were TDs & a few just delighted to be back! #34thDáil

Great news! 🫣😱🙄Ireland has jumped 2 places on the global list for women in parliaments. We’re now at no.102 (behind China, Iraq, Mongolia). Ireland, it seems, likes the decisions for us all to be taken by men (77% in last Dáil) Let’s change this today? Let’s #VoteMoreWomen

I wish gender wasn’t an issue in #GE24, but with so few women making the decisions for us all in our Parliament it absolutely is! Ireland lags at no. 104 in the world for women in parliaments (behind such beacons of democracy as China, South Sudan, Turkmenistan..) Ireland, let’s #VoteMoreWomen
