Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality

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

Ms Roisin Duffy:

I do not believe any programme sets out to have a panel of nine or ten men. It has happened, and it happens. It is quite a complex situation. As we do not have data that explains to us the extent of the problem, so it is very hard to fix it. These days most organisations want to have a mixture of men and women. You would go for 50-50 and try to do the best you can in that regard.
