Mary White (Carlow-Kilkenny, Green Party)

I have plenty of time.

In times of economic difficulty focus has to be maintained on employment and enterprise supports. In this context the Equality for Women Measure funding, which my Department provides, has been fully protected. Some €2.42 million is being allocated for the gender mainstreaming subhead, which will fund the latest strand of the Equality for Women Measure, which is offering 1,800 women a variety of training and support options to enable them to prepare for employment, re-train, or start a business.

I care deeply about investing in supports for the Traveller community.
