Ireland's new parliament has the lowest proportion of female parliamentarians in western Europe, highlighting a significant gender representation issue in its political landscape.
Even with gender quotas in place, the results show that the quota system alone is not sufficient for achieving gender parity in political representation.
Campaign groups like Women for Election signal that while the number of women elected slightly increased, the pace of change remains inadequate for true equality.
The National Women's Council emphasizes the need for earlier candidate selection, indicating that late additions to the electoral ticket compromise women's campaign efforts.
