Ireland: We need to change way we do politics to attract more women
Opinion by Breda O'Brien
Ireland is among the 10 lowest-ranked EU countries when it comes to political and economic representation of women.
In January, according to the Inter-Parliamentary Union, we ranked joint 60th in the world when it comes to women in ministerial positions, along with Kyrgyzstan, Malta, Ukraine and Uruguay. I doubt the new ministerial appointments have nudged us far up the list.
