More women needed on company boards - Fitzgerald

A long-awaited EU plan to get more women on company boards needs to get moving according to Dublin MEP Frances Fitzgerald

The Directive was first proposed in 2012 and calls for non-executive boards to be made up of at least 40 per cent women.

However, its rollout has been blocked by a number of member states in the European Council.

Fine Gael’s Frances Fitzgerald says it’s about time the plan gets going
