Electoral (Amendment)(Political Funding) Bill 2011: Committee Stage (Resumed)
5:00 pm
Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)
Senator Mullen was very academic and theoretical regarding the argument but he does not understand the practical realities on the ground facing political parties and how difficult is sometimes is for a large party to enhance the number of female participants in the political system. It is not as easy as the Senator believes. This Bill is about enhancing the opportunity of women to become involved in politics.
