Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality

Recommendations of Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Shirley Scott:

One of the things we thought about is that even at a minimum we should be looking at perhaps doing further research to look at testing the admissibility of the arguments that are being put forward. That research was done back in 2009. We would love to see further research to see if too much latitude is being given in relation to the reasons being put forward.
