A new power sharing executive between Ian Paisley’s DUP and Gerry Adam’s Sinn Fein will be created at Stormont when the new assembly opens next Tuesday. There are 108 members and just 18 are female with only one member in the Ulster Unionist Party. So what does the new political era in Northern Ireland mean for women in the province? And what key issues, like abortion, are likely to be tackled when the assembly is up and running.
Jane is joined by BBC correspondent Martina Purdy, Jennifer McCann, the Sinn Fein MLA for Belfast West, and Iris Robinson, the DUP MLA and MP for Strangford. |
