In her earlier statement Ms O'Connor said that "from our consultations there is no disagreement regarding the sexist language in Article 41.2. On this matter, everyone agrees. However once we move on from the sexist language and the positioning of women in the home, our discussions around Article 41.2 move quickly to complex choices and challenges." Does the National Women's Council favour amendment rather than deletion then?
