Fine Gael's candidate Grace Boland criticized Independent Ireland for failing to meet the 40% gender quota, alleging a lack of female representation, based on incorrect candidate numbers.
Independent Ireland countered that they have 28 candidates, with 12 being female, successfully achieving a gender balance of 42.85%, exceeding Fine Gael's own figure of 41%.
The response from Independent Ireland emphasized that the claims made by Fine Gael were misleading and a distraction from the actual progress made toward gender equality.
Independent Ireland condemned the divisive nature of Fine Gael's commentary, stressing the need for integrity in discussions around gender representation and requesting a retraction.
