CEANN COMHAIRLE SEÁN Ó Fearghaíl is due to host a meeting with female TDs later today to discuss their safety and security.
“I think it’s really important that we have an open and honest discussion around how women and men or publicly elected representatives are feeling whether you’re at local or national level,” Naughton said. She told reporters that she is consciously aware of her own safety either when canvassing or when holding clinics.“I think I would certainly I would hold my clinics in public areas, when I’m out canvassing there’s always people with me around me and I would be conscious. I think we all are, no matter what we do, you’re conscious about your own safety.”
“I think there needs to be an awareness around when you attend a public meeting, for example, that there are protections there and you do feel safe to engage with your constituents.”
