In her very important contribution Deputy Bríd Smith made reference to our recognising the role of women on International Women's Day and then ignoring it for the rest of the year. I feel I should say that if Deputy Smith or any other Member has a view as to how we could more effectively represent the concerns of more than 50% of our electorate and of our population here, I certainly would be very glad to hear from them.
