No impact assessment was carried out before an 84% male Dáil passed this dangerous and unnecessary Act in 2015 at the behest of activists. Women never consented to allowing men to "self-id" as women, a safeguarding risk to us and to children.| Women's Space Ireland
"Imagine a law that allowed white people to declare they are black or adults to declare they are children. There would rightly be uproar. Yet women are supposed to accept that any man can say he’s a woman, or be called a bigot."| Women's Space Ireland
Unbelievably, the submission by the Equality Authority (now part of IHREC, the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission) believed that the demands of some men to be legally recognised as the opposite sex should be extended to permit them access to women's changing rooms and toilets.| Women's Space Ireland
Yesterday's ruling by the UK's Supreme Court will doubtless have significance for any woman in Ireland wondering if legal action can be taken over males being permitted to use female facilities e.g. in the workplace or schools.| Women's Space Ireland
For the State to financially support nominally "non-Governmental" organisations which lobby to undermine the rights and safety of women is to effectively discriminate against women.| Women's Space Ireland
There are 28 candidates chasing six seats in the two university panels for colleges of the NUI and Trinity College Dublin this month. Many candidates appear to be offering a range of similar positions on a wide variety of topics. Two women candidates however stand out from the crowd. Laoise| Women's Space Ireland

Poem by Kathryn O'Sullivan, read out at our protest outside the German Embassy on November 1st, the day far-reaching "self-id" legislation came into force placing German women and children at risk of harm.| Women's Space Ireland
The "hate crime" Bill before the Seanad today introduces an entirely new definition of “gender”, which defies the reality of there being only two sexes or genders. It sets a very dangerous precedent in our legislation if it is passed.| Women's Space Ireland
The Institute for Strategic Dialogue which sits on a subgroup of the Government's National Counter Disinformation Strategy is not above promoting disinformation itself.| Women's Space Ireland
IHREC says the exploitation of vulnerable women for surrogacy is 'one of the most concerning, novel and emerging forms of trafficking'. "Yet we have enacted a law that legalises what the UN special rapporteur on human rights has called 'the sale of children'."| Women's Space Ireland
If the Government's plans to protect men's "gender identity" in our equality legislation is successful, it may mean that women and girls will not be able to object to men or boys in our sports, schools, changing rooms.| Women's Space Ireland
Just announced: a new public consultation on the next National Strategy for Women and Girls. Is this just another box ticking exercise before proceeding once again with what the gender identity activists in our NGOs and Government want?| Women's Space Ireland
"A society that promotes the idea that women can be containers of babies and that we should do it for love and freedom is such a monstrous society that it is not even able to recognise its monstrosity any more."| Women's Space Ireland

Public health experts say we should aim to have two female toilets for every one male toilet because women generally use the toilets more frequently and for more reasons than men. Gender-neutral toilets mean less facilities for women, when what we really need is more.| Women's Space Ireland
Why should the Government fund any organisation which lobbies to have men and boys enabled to play in women's and girl's sports? State funding for this looks very much like discrimination against women and girls.| Women's Space Ireland
Our existing 2000 Equal Status Act protects single-sex spaces and we want these protections maintained. We don’t want to be made fearful of calling out any man who seeks to use them by being accused of “hate” under the proposed "hate speech" bill.| Women's Space Ireland
“It is planned that legislative proposals arising from the Review of the Equality Acts will be brought forward shortly. Policy officials are seeking legal advice on a number of matters before proposals can be finalised."| Women's Space Ireland
