Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: As we all know, this Friday is International Women's Day. It is important that we promote women in business and politics, and it is also important that we support each other as women. I firmly believe that women need to support other women more.

Holly Cairns: Last year the Government marked International Women's Day by announcing that it would be holding a referendum to remove the constitutional reference to a woman’s role in the home, and that it would take place this year on International Women's Day. Here we are three years after the Citizens' Assembly on Gender Equality, and with completely different language from what was recommended....

Emer Higgins: Apologies for being breathless. I just ran from a committee vote. That underscores how important it is that we get more women into this Chamber, so that the women who are here do not have to sit on too many committees in order to achieve gender balance.

Rose Conway-Walsh: Today, we are marking International Women's Day and at the forefront of our thoughts are the many women living through conflict. Some 600 million women and girls lived in countries affected by conflict in 2022. That represented a 50% increase since 2017. Affected countries ranged from Congo to Ukraine to Palestine. Women suffer the harshest realities of war. In Palestine alone, Israel...

Imelda Munster: As we mark International Women's Day this week, I want to use my time to speak about the women in Gaza, who are living in hell on earth. Their conditions are indescribable. It is like nothing we have seen before in our lifetime. Five months in and the people of Gaza are starving. Israel has deliberately blocked the delivery of aid into Gaza. What we are now witnessing is an Israeli-made...

Mary Lou McDonald: It is fitting that International Women's Day takes place in springtime, which is the season that represents the spirit of renewal, hope and change, a time when darkness gives way to light and we can all see that bit better how far women have come and how far we have yet to travel. Generations of Irish women - courageous changemakers - struggled to transform the future for all of us to ensure...
