Ireland's new Cabinet, announced by Micheál Martin, reveals a majority male lineup with only three women serving as senior ministers. While appointments like Jennifer Carroll MacNeill as Minister for Health and Helen McEntee as Minister for Education and Youth mark progress, the lack of significant female representation sparks criticism, highlighting the need for greater gender diversity in Irish leadership.
Last week, Micheál Martin announced that the majority of Ministers attending Cabinet would once again be men.
