Frances Fitzgerald (Fine Gael)

I request that the House engage in a debate on the Minister of State's new commitment in order that we might have an opportunity to discuss the relevant issues.

The final issue to which I wish to refer relates to women's representation in political life. It was stated that a debate on this matter would take place on 8 March, International Women's Day. I ask the Leader to reply on how he expects the House to meaningfully address the issues I have raised.
