Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

I hope that the Taoiseach will accept my congratulations on his appointments of chair and deputy chair to the NESC, demonstrating perfect gender balance with one man and one woman. However, why were all the other nominees from Departments men? Is he not being listened to or being taken notice of by his other colleagues? Would it be worth reminding them that they must try to implement gender balance themselves rather than leave it up to him?
