International Women's Day: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2025-03-06
============================================================

Natasha Newsome Drennan (SF), Carlow-Kilkenny

We need to see meaningful action that will bring positive change. This International Women's Day, let us raise our voices as a society to say we value carers as an essential part of our society and we demand they are given the support and respect of which they are so deserving.
I commend my own mother, who looked after my father, and was a carer for a number of years. Their role is vital and we could not do this without them. They need to be recognised.
