Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I am not concerned about the consultation issue because if anyone wants to make a go of anything he or she must consult. How else can he or she get the information required? I do not agree with providing for gender proofing in legislation. Whereas one can do a job whether one is man or a woman, the term "gender proofing" is always used to label women who it is claimed would not have got where they are without a quota system. It is very discriminatory.
