Joyce Fegan: Would the mums of Ireland please run for office?

Why aren't the people that actually run Ireland, the mothers who juggle paid and unpaid work with the cooking and the cleaning, the nap times and the school runs, the homeschooling, the eldercare and the childcare, not sitting in the Dáil or the Seanad or on the legal benches of this country?

Would a second wave of Covid-19 finally push the people who run the domestic houses of Ireland into running the political ones instead?

Sometimes the world seems to neatly divide into two kinds of people: those who are responsible for everything and those who are accountable for nothing.

And why this week does such a division come to mind?
