“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 www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

⚡️Not only are gender quotas effective, but are a testament to the many women's groups around the country investing in capacity building, demystifying our political processes and building the confidence of women to put themselves forward @womenforelection.bsky.social

🙌Record number of women candidates were running in this election, marking the highest in the State's history, with at least 2 women candidates running in each constituency @womenforelection.bsky.social
