The Tánaiste is probably aware the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, was in China recently and she raised women's rights while she was there. She was right to do so. Sadly she has not done the same in Saudi Arabia and it would be a good lead on the part of the Irish Government to raise the issue because the role of women in Saudi Arabia leaves so much to be desired. It would be great if the Irish Government took a lead and challenged the Saudis on this.
