Richard Hogan: Young women like Georgina Wilkinson are an inspiration on International Women's Day 

"Sitting with Georgie is an incredible experience. Her energy and zest for life is infectious. She is the kind of girl who inspires people."

Georgina Wilkinson. At twenty, Georgie is the next big thing to happen to Irish Junior Supersport, motor biking. She is now a member of ‘James Halligan Racing’ (JHR Racing) and is competing in the Women’s European Championship this year.

Today is International Women's Day. It’s a moment when we reflect on the impact women have on our society. I am blessed, in my life, to be surrounded by women.

I have three daughters and was raised by my mother and grandmother, two strong Cork women.
