Ms Julie Sinnamon:

The question on quotas for women is a political one on which there will be many different views. Personally, I am very much against quotas. Business logic should win out and there should not be a quota. This has certainly been subject to significant discussion in the context of women on boards. This is what the 30% Club, which was established two weeks ago in Ireland, is about. All the facts show the impact of a diversified board. Therefore, the business logic should win out. It is a matter of educating people to understand that. The same applies to projects. I strongly oppose the potential to include quotas. It is important to use role models, encourage those who have potential and work with them as opposed to having a quota.
