Larissa Nolan comment: TV debates freezing out only female party leader isn't a good look for equality

I’m the last one to call sexism. It’s 2020, we’re all equal. Far more productive – and fun – to work together than get into silly gender wars.

The reason given by the stations – that the debate is on the basis of party performance in the 2016 elections – is a handy excuse. It is a bad indictment for Ireland as a country if Mary Lou McDonald is excluded from the stage tonight.
