New museum marking women's place in Irish history could be on the way, Josepha Madigan suggests

This would follow on the success of The Rising commemorations and other events which had marked women's place in Irish history.

Culture Minister Josepha Madigan has suggested there could be a national women's museum amid claims institutions in Ireland are male-dominated.

Labour's Joan Burton raised the idea during Dáil questions, querying why there were no plans for one. The former Tánaiste dismissed suggestions a pop-up museum could work. She also criticised the fact that institutions were male-dominated in Ireland.
