Women in Politics in Cork
This is an objective breakdown of the male:female ratio of candidates running for the 19 Dail Seats available in Cork City & County. I will hopefully get around to also writing an article about why it’s important to vote for women first in this election but until that happens, I think this article suffices: http://www.advertiser.ie/mayo/article/36222.
Apologies if I missed out on any candidates- please let me know in the comments and I’ll edit the post.
