lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I would first like to congratulate Ms Ward on her birthday – coincidentally, I share the same birthday as my mother as well. Ireland joined the European Union 1973. At that time, women who got married had to retire from working in the civil service. The European Union insisted that the rule be changed, and of course it made sense and it has been that way ever since. So the European Union has form in trying to promote gender equality, and I agree completely with that. Incidentally, we have just emerged from our general elections. We had a quota for women candidates for the first time ever – it had to be 30 % – and while many people were against it, it was significant that far more women were elected to the next government – or the next Dáil as we call it – than the previous one. So while people might not agree with quotas, this does seem to work, and it is necessary until we get proper equality between men and women."@en1
