Ms O'Connor will depart from the National Women's Council (NWC) for a role as executive director of St Stephen's Green Trust. Her career at NWC spanned 23 years, with 13 years in a director position. She regarded her time at NWC as the greatest honor of her career and expressed excitement for her next journey. The NWC chairperson praised Ms O'Connor as a true feminist leader, acknowledging her contributions to women's rights and equality in Ireland. NWC will commence the search for a new director shortly.
"It has been the greatest honour of my career to lead this extraordinary organisation of almost 200 member groups from across the island and work alongside such strong and passionate feminists."
"Together, we have built a powerful organisation - a place that drives real change, holds true to feminist values and makes a lasting difference to women's lives and Irish society."
"Orla is a true feminist leader who has dedicated her life to the achievement of equality and social justice," Ms Okeke said.
"Ireland is a better place for women and girls thanks to the work of NWC under her leadership."
