  Jennifer Carroll MacNeill said that women politicians should not be made to "be responsible for everything" related to women.

The article discusses Irish Minister for Public Expenditure Paschal Donohoe's response to suggestions that he could insist on a gender-balanced cabinet. Donohoe emphasized that the composition of the cabinet is the prerogative of the Taoiseach (Prime Minister), not individual ministers. He highlighted that while he supports gender balance, the decision on cabinet appointments lies with the Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar. This statement came after comments from Social Democrats TD Jennifer Whitmore, who suggested that ministers could refuse to serve in an imbalanced cabinet. Donohoe clarified that his role does not extend to dictating cabinet composition, and he respects the Taoiseach's authority in this matter.
