That the council celebrate International Women’s Day this year by commemorating great Kildare female writers and options might include any or all of the following; Talks from current Kildare female writers; Maynooth University Event; Involve students schools – prize for short stories; Online writing workshop with Kildare writer/s; Online Concert with Kildare Female songwriters.

Report Issued by: Ms S Kavanagh, Director of Services Economic, Community & Cultural Development. : International women’s day is the 08 March and as this motion will be discussed on the 22 February, that allows only 2 weeks before the event to organise any events.

However, the Economic, Community & Cultural Directorate are happy to take on board the suggestions made for events for 2022.
