gender equali-
ty. I am driving forward the implementation of the National Strategy for Women and Girls which has a wide-ranging agen- da for change. The strate- gy is working to open up opportunities for women and girls in all areas of Irish life
including the
workplace, politics, sport and the arts.
The barriers that limit the
women’s potential also diminish men too. It is in the interests of men and boys that we have a socie- ty that is willing to realise and maximise the poten- tial of all of its members. That is why I urge male business leaders to play their part in supporting this initiative. I look for- ward to working closely with Better Balance for Better Business and with the Irish business sector to bring about sustainable cultural change.”
