Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality
Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Michelle Maher:
At a very simple level, we know when the local elections will take place and when the census results will come out. Women who are trying to plan their campaigns at the moment do not know if their local electoral area will be redesigned or expanded or contracted. An example of something very simple that could be done to help the women who are already preparing is to let them know if there is going to be a redesign of local electoral areas for 2024 following the census results.
