The Conversation in Dublin

Specials | Mar 15, 2019

The Conversation travels to Ireland, a country which voted in two ground-breaking referendums in the last five years. The same sex marriage and abortion referendums have changed the lives of many Irish women forever – and the campaigns continue. Citizens are expected to go the ballot again to vote on removing a clause from the Irish Constitution that effectively says a woman's place is in the home.

Hear a panel of successful and outspoken influencers, each a trailblazer in their field and responsible for pushing the boundaries of what women can have and achieve. They discuss life after the referendums, and what's next in the fight for equality in Ireland. The debate is staged in front of an audience in Dublin Castle, the historic heart of the city.
