The recent cabinet reshuffle has resulted in a decrease in female representation, with only three women—Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, Helen McEntee, and Norma Foley—holding senior cabinet positions. This marks a decline from the previous government's representation, as there had been expectations for further female appointments, including Mary Butler. The reshuffle saw several other notable changes, including new roles for men and the disappointing news for some female politicians. Observers expressed concern over the implications of reduced female visibility in government leadership.
"It is 'shocking and disappointing' to see the decline of female representation," stated an observer, highlighting the reduced number of women in senior cabinet roles.
"Despite expectations, Mary Butler will not be elevated to a full cabinet position, continuing to reflect the challenges women face in this political landscape."
