Got to love all these people thinking change is immediate. Like all men currently leading enterprises will just get replaced by women beginning tomorrow…
6 males, at least 1 member of the LGBT community, 1 immigrant.
So we are missing females, coloured person, member of traveller community and a disabled person
OP, you have no context for the comment and you’re trying to make a thing out of it.
The context is a €90m start up fund for companies in multiple sectors (lifesciences, healthcare…) and it includes women-led enterprises.
There is an imbalance and the scheme looks to try to address it.
The scheme is not wholly for female led enterprises. If it were, I would suggest your angle of attack had some relevance. But it does not in this case. You’d be as well of complaining there’s no fintech start up CEO, or healthcare start up CEO in the photo op because they are all an equal part of the scheme.
The women are off at work as per usual.
…. There’s no fire exits
Sausage party brahhhh.
What ever happened to hiring people based on qualifications? 🤷🏻♂️
Women have equality of opportunity , in a free country equality of outcome isn’t going to happen , unless women are actually forced to contest these positions. I wouldn’t want to , most men and women don’t want to either.
Well if woman aren’t putting themselves forward for political and entrepreneurial position who’s fault is that. They are the majority population
Rectifying unfair advantages with more unfair advantages. Genius really.
Nobody there with red hair.
Going to get some down votes for this, but how is positive discrimination against males an solution to this particular issue? I never understood it. Diversity quota’s just destroy opportunities for genuine people who have the ability, surely this should have nothing to do with the background of the person or what they have between their legs?
Before all the hate I am LGBT myself, I just don’t expect society or anyone else to conform to my worldviews.
For anyone saying that there is already equal opportunity for women and that it should be based on merit… it was never based on merit. Gender quotas are there to correct for the unfair advantage men have when nothing is done.
The only way to be judged purely on merit is if no one knows you’re a woman. This article says that for blind auditions women even have to remove their shoes because any hint that they’re a woman will make them less likely to be selected.
I’m sick of this crap. If you worked in the civil or public service you would know that it is female dominated especially in middle management roles. The joke in the last twenty years in my department is men need to put a dress on to get a promotion.
They might all identify as women, you can’t gender assume anymore. Though they are a bunch of bitches for sure.
Why is there a focus on funding businesses with female leads? Why not just focus on support Irish businesses regardless of the gender/sex of the leadership
The EU flag is higher than the national flag.
Ah there they all are now, the lads.
It’s the government, they should all be holding pens so each person in the room can write part of the signature to ensure everyone is working enough for that fat salary
Shouldn’t this corporations be led by the most competent and worthy people? Regardless of sex, race or anything else ?
My partner (female) earns more than me. Two of the three directors in my science based role are female, as are the majority of my ‘superiors’. The vast majority of people at my university are female as a result of female students performing better in school.
I’m not salty because I judge everyone based on their individual behaviours and not by what’s between their legs but I feel like I must have missed out on my male priveledge card
Since when does someone’s gender decide if they are good for the job.
Within the Civil Service, the benchmark seen for achieving equality is generally touted as seeing the first female Secretary General in Dept. Agriculture
Currently there are 3 female Assistant Secretaries, which historically is major, but the other 8 are men and of the 3 posts held by women only 1 really has a “serious” responsibility for that of the agri-food area, the other 2 are responsible for HR/Corporate Affairs and IMT
The estimated time to see a female Sec. Gen. in DAFM…… long after every women currently working in the Dept. is long retired unfortunately (and that’s being optimistic, still a lot of the “over my dead body” attitude from the males running the sector)
