If she did indeed resign because of funding cuts, I agree entirely with Clanrickard in this case. Apart from anything else, in the current climate it's an utterly politically ineffective gesture. It looks more like a piece of establishment flouncing than anything else.

I am no fan of McKay's rigidly dogmatic approach and her occasional blind spots when convenient, but at least she did the honest thing and put her position on the line with her principles. But well done to Shatter, not folding in front of one of the most vocal lobby groups in the country, now will he take on others like Pavee Point and especially Ruhama who receive large amounts?
I think it is unfair to imply that she was thinking of her own salary.
(P.S. Clanrickard, please ask a mod to change your title's spelling of Women, it is trite and insulting to spell it as you do. Thanks.)

I think there is still a place for the Women's Council although I do think they are a bit touchy now and then about perceived slights - sometimes one feels they are making work for themselves.
Society still has a lot or work to do to make it a woman-friendly affair and I think McKay has played an honourable part in trying to achieve that. I think she's a really good journalist - her book about Northern prods - An Unsettled People is a cracker and so is her book about victims of the troubles Bear In Mind These Dead.
Maybe the Women's Council's loss will be journalism's gain.

You should keep it for yourself. You need it more than she does!
The logic-free zone that is Irish politics.
And what "work" is that precisely?
As for McKay, what has her former role as a journalist got to do with her now former role as CEO of this quango? She displays all the characteristics of the classic feminista i.e. a right whinger with a royal sense of entitlement, imo. .
Now where is the "hate" in that?
Why is this quango needed in the first place since we already have the Equality Authority covering the same ground ?
Is there a National Men's Council ?

No hate at all, beyond calling someone you don't know 'a right whinger with a royal sense of entitlement'. Do you think that a journalistic career spent writing about the position of women in Irish society (among other things) might just be connected to her getting a job with an organisation concerned with the position of women in society? Or is there a conspiracy?
I'm off anyway. No more reading childish nicknames such as 'wimmin' and 'right whinger', 'feminista' ad nauseum.
