Event description About this event
Join us for the launch of ‘No Woman Left Behind’, the National Women’s Council’s new and ambitious Strategic Plan 2021-2024, on Tuesday, 15th June.
We want to work with our members and women throughout the island of Ireland to bring a radical shift to the place of women in Ireland and beyond. Join in the conversation on how best we can achieve NWC’s ambition of true equality for all women and how we can mobilise and campaign for women’s rights and equality in a new and more inclusive way than ever before.
A Banquet of Ringforts
Michael Smith reviews ‘The Men who eat Ringforts’ by Sinéad Mercier and Michael Holly, featuring Eddie Lenihan
The title of the delightful ‘The Men Who Eat Ringforts’ gratifyingly, replicates the headline for a typically incisive article by Tony Lowes published in this magazine in 2010. It complained that there was no legal protection for ringforts.
Sinead Mercier grew up in An Cheathrú Rua and got a first-class honours law degree from Trinity. She was the primary researcher for the Green Party but has now resigned from the party. She is the daughter of Paul Mercier, playwright, of the Passion Machine.
