Ireland: Women TDs opposed to quota criticised, The Irish Times (2010)
This article discusses the reaction of the National Women's Council to the opposition to introduce mandatory gender quotas for political parties. Yesterday, women TDs criticized the quota system, and stated that this is not the right way to solve the problem. The National Women's Council replied that this shows a lack of solidarity with other women, and believes that women opposing this system are not able to suggest any other measure. There are only 23 women TDs in 166-seat Dáil (13%).
