Irish political parties need to do more to get women into politics, says TD

Irish political parties need to do more to encourage women to enter politics, a leading TD has warned.

Ms Hourigan was a vocal critic of the programme and opposed her party going into coalition with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael. “I think every single party has a job of work to do around attracting women into politics. When you’re in one of the areas that has historically been male-dominated, you have a little more of a mountain to climb.

Meanwhile, Fianna Fail TD Christopher O’Sullivan criticised party colleagues who spoke out about missing out on Cabinet roles.
