  • Summary

  • With the General Election campaign in full swing and just over a week to go until polling day, political parties are making all sorts of promises to garner votes and ensure they make it into the next Government. On the campaign trail, the focus has been put on housing, the cost of living crisis and immigration, but what promises have each party made in their manifestos regarding women? What has been said about women’s healthcare, the childcare crisis, or how to address record levels of domestic violence? Orla O’Connor, Director of the National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI) joins Róisín Ingle to discuss the issues and to also outline the NWCI's own election manifesto for women.


    In this episode, we’re also focusing on women’s participation in politics. The last Daíl had 37 women TDs, out of a total of 160. That’s 23 per cent female representation. Katie Deegan, Communications coordinator from Women for Election joins Ingle and O’Connor to talk about the barriers facing women entering politics, the importance of women’s voices at the decision making table and the biggest election issues facing young women today.
