Sarah Carey: Label me and Verona Murphy 'culchies' and 'difficult women' if you want, but enough with this 'right-wing' nonsense
Briefly

In using the term 'culchie,' I embrace a label that signifies my identity with affection, seeing it as a term that unites rather than divides.
The potential of Verona Murphy as ceann comhairle excites me; it's a role that allows her to exercise power creatively, without navigating the challenges of a full cabinet position.
Labelling is complex; while I find empowerment in being called 'difficult,' it reflects society's bias against assertive women and their ambitions within male-dominated spaces.
As the political landscape shifts, I believe labels can be wielded as tools for solidarity; the discourse around our identities helps in shaping our collective political narratives.
