Ms Mel?osa O'Caoimh:

If I could make one brief point, yesterday I had reason to meet a group of 12-year-olds at a school in Ringsend. There was not an ounce of lack of confidence in the room. I asked what they would all be when they grew up. The sky was the limit. There is no doubt that something happens between 12 and being grown up that is knocking women down. It is partly about visibility and seeing examples. Ms Harford's point that you can be what you can see is key in this regard and any help to enable that to improve will pay dividends in time.
