Ep 193 "Dye the hair blond" Kerry County Cllr Aoife Thornton

This week a Fine Gael Co Councillor was told she should "dye the hair blond" if she wanted to be noticed in order to get speaking time at Kerry County Council. The incident made national headlines and you can see why we wanted Cllr Aoife Thornton, a solicitor and one of only five women out of 33 members of Kerry Co Council, on the Women's Podcast. Thornton spoke to Roisin Ingle about wearing a yellow jacket in chamber to stand out and about her frustration about the "joke" by her FG colleague and council chairman John Sheehan which she described as "innappropriate".
