Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. As a member of the Women's Caucus, it is my privilege to wind on the debate. I thank everyone who contributed to it. We give special thanks to Aoife, who made her maiden speech in the Chamber. We will all agree, I think, that it was a very strong speech. It just shows the…
I too welcome Aoife to the Chamber. It is great to have another woman on board. You did very well today. It is a pleasure to contribute to the debate, to celebrate the women in and around my constituency on International Women's Day and to share some of the uplifting things that they do to take care of the people in…
I extend solidarity to all women for International Women's Day, and I commend the work of the Women's Caucus and the Chair for moving this important motion. International Women's Day has deep socialist, feminist and radical roots that should not be forgotten. It was first celebrated in 1909 by the Socialist Party of…
I congratulate Aoife on her maiden speech. I remember when I made mine. It was during a Budget debate with Máirtín Ó Muilleoir. Unfortunately, his response was not as kind. I spoke during an untimed debate on legislation, so I did not have the nerves of meeting the time limit. Well done. I had not intended to speak,…

I support the 2025 International Women's Day campaign theme, "Accelerate action", and I thank the chair of the Women's Caucus and its members for tabling the motion. Despite progress in recent years, as others mentioned, women still face significant barriers and biases, particularly in areas such as employment,…
Ahead of International Women's Day on Saturday — the theme this year is "Accelerate action"— I join women around the Chamber in support of the motion. It highlights the absolute necessity of taking decisive steps to achieve gender equality and the need to address systemic barriers that exclude women from reaching…
Today, as we gather to mark International Women's Day 2025, its theme, "Accelerate action", is not just a slogan. It is a call to urgently demand real and immediate progress towards achieving gender equality. It is recognition that, while change is happening, it is not happening fast enough. For too long, we have…
Agus muid ag tabhairt aghaidh ar Lá Idirnáisiúnta na mBan, ba mhaith liom labhairt ar chúpla ábhar a bhaineann leis na mná go ginearálta. Fiú sa bhliain 2025, tá bearna ann idir pá na mban agus pá na bhfear. Níl sin inghlactha. Tá fáthanna difriúla leis sin: tá i bhfad níos mó ban ná fear ag obair go páirtaimseartha;…
