Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Shared Island Initiative: Department of the Taoiseach (23 Sep 2025)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Shared Island Initiative: Department of the Taoiseach (23 Sep 2025)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is very important to have a framework for all the research that is being done. The work we did on women in the Constitution was mentioned.
