International Year of the Woman Farmer: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2026-05-20
============================================================

Joe Conway (IND), Cultural and Educational Panel

Did he? How about that. There are all the warm testimonies.
I was looking at the figures for the latest year available, which is 2019, and out of the 127 students there were in Kildalton in that year, 13 were female. The piece of information that I read was a great improvement on the position five years previously, when there were only two. Therefore, the trends are definitely in the right direction. Long may it continue that way.
I thank Senator Boyhan for the great motion. I was proud to co-sign it. I am looking to forward to hearing the Minister's response on this worthy topic.
