An evening surrounding the theme of women in media and politics will be hosted by Women On Air in Dublin on 6th March – two days before international women’s day. Former RTÉ political correspondent Martina Fitzgerald, who also wrote the 2018 bestselling book Madam Politician, will give her personal insight into the industry.

Martina recently sat on a panel at a Fórsa event which focused on encouraging more women (#MoreWomen) to run for election. This ties in with the theme for this year’s International Women’s day, #BalanceforBetter.

Proceeds from the event will help fund Women On Air, a voluntary network of women and men who want to see and hear more women on the airwaves. The group runs seminars, events and informal training workshops to help give women the skills and confidence to go on radio and television.

The event, which starts at 7.00pm and ends at 9.00pm, takes place on 6th March in the Radisson Blu, Royal Hotel, Dublin 8. Tickets cost €8 and can be purchased HERE.
