TD criticises male culture in Dáil
Published: Thursday, August 18, 2011
THE CULTURE of Irish men was sometimes reflected poorly in the Dáil, Anne Ferris, recently elected Labour TD for Wicklow, told the Parnell Summer School yesterday.
"Indeed we need only look back a few weeks to the comment made by three Independent TDs about a female colleague in Fine Gael [Mary Mitchell O'Connor] to instance this culture,'' she added.
