I beg the Senator's pardon, "too few" I should have said. Gabh mo leithscéal. Perhaps it was a Freudian slip.

To be fair, if one looks at the record of many of the women who have served in Cabinet, they have been powerfully strong, reforming and innovative women who brought gargantuan changes to the Departments in which they served. On a more positive note I am sure that Senator Bacik will join with me in welcoming and congratulating my party, which has the highest level in the history of the State of women ever running for local government election-----
