The National Women’s Council

Sir, – The National Women’s Council lauds inclusivity and diversity as some of their core values.

Not inviting any representatives from the political parties in Government to attend their rally would appear to negate those euphemistic platitudes ("Women's council defends excluding female Government members from speaking at rally", News, February 14th).

Either that or they have a quixotic perception of what inclusivity and diversity actually mean. – Yours, etc,
