Gender Quotas in Politics in Ireland

July 9, 2021

It’s time for #MoreWomen in politics!

The time for more women and more diversity is now. Ireland is not a fully functioning democracy until we have equal balance and proportional diversity in representation in local and national government. We know that better decisions are made when there is a diversity of voices around the table, and that we need more women in elected office to balance our political system.
