The number of women elected to our City & County Councils rose from 12% in 1991 to 24% in 2019. Welcome trend, but much more to be done. What are the barriers, challenges & facilitators for women participating in local politics? Join the conversation on Tuesday in City Hall.

[I Wish @IWish_ie]

As women the challenges we face are greater and more profound than ever before. We are all working towards a model of sustainable interventions, towards a whole of society approach that can drive real change.
