Women and politics. Current teaching interests Comparative public policy. The Politics of the Second Electorate, Trinity College, Dublin. In 1993 I was successful in a joint application with Dr Alice Brown for funding from the Royal Irish Academy and the British Council to carry out a pilot survey on women in political parties in the Republic of Ireland and Scotland. This project was completed in 1995 and we are currently preparing a paper for publication in the European Journal of Women's Studies.
