What can be argued is that as a means of redressing past discrimination, taking steps to give both genders representation in any workforce is a fair step. Affirmative action is not always called-for, and I don't know that the situation in Ireland can or cannot benefit from it, but it's obvious that in many cases entrenched preferences need to be broken, by policy if need be.
