Tánaiste criticised over failure to promote any women in recent cabinet reshuffle

Party members also said the Tánaiste did not have the same 'respect or regard' for women within Fianna Fáil

Women in Fianna Fáil have expressed their frustration with Tánaiste Micheál Martin over his failure to promote a woman as part of last week’s minor reshuffle.

Last week, Jack Chambers was promoted to Finance Minister following the departure of Michael McGrath from Cabinet, moving out of his ‘super junior’ role.
