Donohoe wants less religion in health and education

The Government wants to further reduce the role of religion in health and education systems, Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe has said.

In a speech delivered to the Collins Institute last night, Mr Donohoe said he wants to see a “full participation of women in both society and economy by closing gender pay gaps, equal representation on both state and private company boards, better childcare, and extended and equal parental leave”.
