The Dublin 50:50 Group are organising an event on Tuesday 26th November. This is to support women who want to put themselves forward for election. It will also be a help to those that want to help out in an election campaign. If we want a greater presence of women at the decision making table then we need to help get them there. More details will be announced shortly….
If you’re interested in female leadership in Irish politics then this meeting in Derry might be of interest…
