It was great to see such a large crowd at the 5050-group’s first public meeting in Cork last night. It was even greater to listen to the vast majority’s endorsement of introducing measures to increase the gender parity in Irish politics. Both male and female politicians stressed the importance of having more women in the Dáil and that the proposed legislation to cut party funding if there is less than a 30-70 balance is a step on the way. But the aim should still be 5050 by 2020!
