The Conference took place in Dublin Castle on Friday 20 January 2012.
The purpose of the Conference was to create a catalyst & network of people – so momentum to elect more women in Ireland would advance significantly.
It may help everyone to have a complete set of publicity, reports & commentary – for ‘intelligence’ & building alliances.
These 26 links are not all pro-quotas. They include links from blogposts critical of the introduction of candidate selection quotas.
But they are mainly supportive of the Gender Quota Bill.
The source of these links was Google Search on Sunday 22 January.
If you know of other links, please send them via Comments – they will be added to the list, so that we have a comprehensive & authoritative list.
