A protest on Thursday at Leinster House which announced the forming of a “natural” women's council has been labelled as “appalling” and “hateful” by onlookers.
Organised by Jana Lunden, who described herself as a “concerned parent”, the movement surrounded what they call an erasure of women as well as the teaching of LGBTQ+ issues in schools. Jana Lunden, surrounded by placards she said were paid for by donations to a GoFundMe said that, despite what she calls a small turnout, it’s only a start.
“I’m really happy that it was a peaceful, happy celebration without any hassle. It was a good vibe, my friends who are both straight and gay do not want women erased so I think we got crowds from both communities,” she said.
