Women’s rights have been given away by Irish feminists

Yesterday at the Dáil, the National Women’s Council (NWC) held a rally to call for “political leadership and action on women’s equality”.

The usual suspects were all there, including Sinn Féin’s Mary Lou McDonald, leader of a party with a passionate commitment to women’s rights. Well, unless it’s women whose rights were violated by the IRA. There was also Trinity law professor, now TD, Ivana Bacik, surely set to become new Labour Party leader now that Alan Kelly has stepped down, thereby cementing its final transformation into a Friday night book club for woke activists rather than a working-class political movement.
