Very disappointing to see only 6 women amongst a record number of 23 Junior Ministers. This is a failed opportunity to address the gender gap in our Government following the decrease of the number of women in the Cabinet from 4 to 3. #UnfinishedDemocracy

👏Our heartfelt congratulations to Senator Eileen Flynn, the first Traveller person ever elected to the Seanad. ⚡This is the second time Eileen's made history; in 2020 as a Taoiseach's nomination, she was the first Traveller person in the Seanad.

Positive ⬆️of the no of women elected from 15 to 20 out of 49 seats filled #SeanadElections. The overall gender balance in the Oireachtas and Gov remains disappointing. It is all the more important that the Taoiseach now appoints women in their diversity
