Shane Curley (Fianna Fail)

Thank you. One issue we discussed earlier with Fórsa is that of gender imbalance in the SNA workforce. According to the current data, 94% of SNAs are female. What steps are being taken by the NCSE or the Department to try to rebalance that and make it a more attractive role for males?
