Women for Election is delighted to be partnering with Offaly County Council to bring a programme of comprehensive and engaging training and events to Offaly to encourage and support more women to get involved in politics.
Offaly ranks as the lowest county in Ireland for female representation at Local Government level, with just one female Councillor out of 19. In the 2019 Local Elections, only 8 women ran out of a total of 36 candidates across the three Local Electoral Areas in Offaly, that’s just 22% of candidates.
