Impact of Covid-19 on Women for International Women’s Day: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-03-04
============================================================

Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

I am tempted to start with a joke. The content of the debate reminds me of a joke that is doing the rounds. A woman goes forward for a full-time job that she really wants but in the course of the interview, the interviewers, who obviously have a man in mind for the position, tell her the job is really very onerous and that it involves the work of two men. She asks: "Oh God, is it part time, so?"
