Flor @flormaccarthy.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Reporting on the count during the last General Election in Feb 2020 as the devastating news came of the death of our much-loved colleague and friend, Keelin Shanley. She loved elections. Thinking today of all who loved her❤️ 030
Flor @flormaccarthy.bsky.social · 29/11/2024Rain or shine…I’m voting more women this time! And we’ve never had a greater choice - with a record number of women candidates in #GE24. Time for the voices & expertise of more women in the Dáil🗳️☔️🗳️ #VoteMoreWomen 030
Flor @flormaccarthy.bsky.social · 29/11/2024Great news! 🫣😱🙄Ireland has jumped 2 places on the global list for women in parliaments. We’re now at no.102 (behind China, Iraq, Mongolia). Ireland, it seems, likes the decisions for us all to be taken by men (77% in last Dáil) Let’s change this today? Let’s #VoteMoreWomen 010
Flor @flormaccarthy.bsky.social · 29/11/2024I wish gender wasn’t an issue in #GE24, but with so few women making the decisions for us all in our Parliament it absolutely is! Ireland lags at no. 104 in the world for women in parliaments (behind such beacons of democracy as China, South Sudan, Turkmenistan..) Ireland, let’s #VoteMoreWomen 040
Flor @flormaccarthy.bsky.social · 28/11/2024Ireland, why do we keep voting for a vast majority of men to take decisions for us all? (77% in the last Dáil). Time for more women’s voices & expertise at the decision-making tables. Let’s #VoteMoreWomen votemorewomen.ie #GE24 0124

Flor @flormaccarthy.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Hey Mná na hÉireann (& Fir na hÉireann too) can we rock the system again please? If you know, you know. Ireland lags at no.104 in the world for women in parliament. I mean c’mon!!! #GE2024 121
