Regional Seminar: Women Beyond the Dáil/ NWC and Monaghan County Council

Thursday, December 05, 2024

On Thursday the 5th of December the National Women's Council will host a Monaghan event where we will share the findings and recommendations of this report. This is a unique opportunity to reflect on the challenges and opportunities for women's local representation, examining how these have evolved in response to changes in the political landscape.

Monaghan County Council has some brilliant women Councillors but is still falling behind in terms of having gender balance in the council chamber with only 17% of elected female councillors. We will hear about some of the challenges they encounter in fulfilling their role, the types of things that made them decide to run in the first place and talk about ways to support greater female representation in the local Council and Irish politics at large.

We will also discuss our ongoing campaign to introduce gender quotas for local elections.
