This #InternationalWomensDay we are celebrating the inspiring women in our party!
@BrendanHowlin has been inspired by Anne Byrne! A brave woman who stood in a conservative area asking people to reject the 8th amendment! Another woman choosing to challenge
#ChooseToChallenge
Mervyn Taylor brought in Divorce. Ruairi Quinn brought in CAB. I brought in legislation giving access to contraception. Couldnโt get FG to agree to a referendum on marriage equality in the PfG. The 8th Amdt legislation was passed in 1983 because FG abstained! Give me strength!
