Sorca Clarke: I thank the Minister and her officials for giving of their time this morning. Their engagement here is very productive and most welcome.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (19 May 2022)

Sorca Clarke: I thank all our witnesses for attending. We could be here all day discussing this issue. I am not sure what progress we would make but I am sure we could be here all day. In her presentation, Dr. O'Sullivan stated that women have never been more at risk of being left out. Never be afraid to say it, say it repeatedly, say it loudly and say it often because it is absolutely true. I am also...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality: Recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed) (19 May 2022)

Instead, it has signed us up to a convoluted lease that will run for 300 years. It is obvious to the most uneducated person in economics out there that the investment of...
