Fenian,

had he done it in a pub little would have been said. They know each other, she appeared not to see it in a bad light. Bad time and place to be frivolous. But a lot worse has been done by the Dail over the years on Irish women than this.

Michael,

apparently he came off it after hearing Danny Morrison was negotiating a resolution: all he needed to do was stay on it another 170 days and victory was his.

Fair play to him. No easy thing. The old hunger pangs are not too agreeable. I was scribbling together a few thoughts on it. Suppose I will still publish.

You are right about the religions - they tend to be very misogynistic. Look at that lot in the Catholic hierarchy proclaiming 'not a woman about the place and here are the rules we men lay down for you and which you must obey.

" more women-friendly than the Church "-

That's what I always found odd about the Catholic way of life or most other religions-how anti women they are-yet it seems like women have the most faith-[generally]

Tony Rochford has ended his fast after 25 days-I could not last a few hours without food yet this hero starved for 25 days outside the Dáil-

I wouldn't be too hasty on heaping praise on the Dáil! TD Tom Barry let himself down slightly on camera by playfully grabbing & pulling a female colleague on too his knee after the debate!

Only in Ireland! lol

Michaelhenry,

irony is that the Dail is now proving much more women-friendly than the Church!

AM-

Again well done to all those that took part in those protests-

Heard on the radio that the National womens council of Ireland as described the Dáil and Irish politics as a woman-unfriendly place following the incident in which a Fine Gael TD grabbed a female TD in the Dáil-that anti woman TD would
also go past protesters outside the
Dáil as well so that area could also now be described as woman-unfriendly-
