The new #ClimateBill is a major step in the right direction. Kudos to the many people, both within & beyond government, whose hard work has led to this day.
Efforts by The Usual Suspects to wiggle out of their legal & moral commitments will be watched closely
If we value women’s participation in politics we must tackle the obstacles that prevent them from running for and succeeding in office. There shouldn’t have to be a trade off between family life and a career in politics. We need more Mná! #IWD2021@greenparty_ie@women4election
@CllrCarlyBailey @liam_bs Thank you @CllrCarlyBailey. I know you will continue to fight for this from within the system. We need proper supports for mothers, fathers and their families.
"Things need to change, not only for my daughter or the next generation of women in politics, but this generation" - Green Party calls for greater support for women in politics as Councillor @CllrClare resigns due to family commitments https://t.co/PgSkjVSUPK
My friend and colleague @CllrClare
attends her last council meeting today. It's #IWD2021 and these are the real-world barriers for parents.
I hope Clare will be able to return to the chamber in the future. She's an excellent councillor and will be missed.

A timely reminder on #InternationalWomensDay of the additional barriers women in public office have to climb.
Very disappointed @CllrClare feels the need to step down. The Moorhead Report makes no recommendations on maternity leave for councillors.
