Ms Rachel Coyle:

I acknowledge that Women's Collective Ireland is a member of the National Women's Council. We work incredibly closely. We are just in awe of its approach to things and we rely on it a lot.

I will address the point around education. We did talk a little bit earlier about it, but the point that was made about bringing the education to the community is key. To go up a level, the barrier to women's lives generally is poverty. Even when it is not poverty, it is access to quality public services. That is what we need as a society to maximise women's engagement. A fully public model of childcare is essential, as is security in housing, energy security, and access to safe public transport routes. These are all critical for women's access.

WCI's all-island project is excellent. We look forward to the report on it. I draw Deputy Ward's attention to the work our leadership officer, Ms McHugh, has been doing in terms of the All Island Women's Forum. Perhaps she could speak to that.
