Mergers won’t make a difference

THE National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI), has a strong mandate representing 500,000 of the country’s two million women.

The NWCI has joined with more than 45 other civil society groups in the Equality & Rights Alliance (ERA).

The ERA campaign is gathering support with every passing day as ordinary citizens realise their rights will be affected by the Government’s proposal to merge the Equality Authority and the Irish Human Rights Commission with the Equality Tribunal, the Data Protection Commission and the National Disability Authority.
