Can Government follow through on the Citizens' Assembly recommendations on gender?

The constitutional clause on women’s place being in the home should be replaced by a recognition of the value of care within the home and the wider community. That’s the call from the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality, whose 99 members delivered 45 recommendations on Saturday. The Assembly is calling for widespread changes to Irish society, hoping to modernise the Constitution, achieve better gender equality in politics and leadership, introduce gender quotas on boards of private businesses, and take action on domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. Is it past time for these changes? And how soon before we’re likely to see them implemented? Kieran was joined on The Hard Shoulder by journalist, broadcaster and commentator Alison O’Connor and Senator Regina Doherty to discuss.
