High profile women for Nenagh event

Leading female figures from the worlds of politics, business and sport will gather for a round-table discussion, hosted by Fianna Fáil General Election candidate, Sandra Farrell, in Nenagh on February 1st.
Former jockey and broadcaster, Tracy Piggott will be Master of Ceremonies for the 'Aspire to Inspire' event which takes place at Ashley Park House from 2pm to 4pm.
The afternoon tea and panel discussion will feature businesswoman and Fianna Fáil General Election candidate, Sandra Farrell; former Minister for Health, Minister for Education, and Minister for Public Enterprise, Mary O’Rourke; Senator and singer, Frances Black; Global Chief Diversity Officer of Sodexo, Margot Slattery, whose contract catering firm employs 3,700 people in Ireland; IFA President North Tipperary and inspirational voice for Tipperary farmers, Imelda Walsh; All Star Tipperary Camogie player and winner of five All Ireland senior titles, Deirdre Hughes; and Consultant Physician and Endocrinologist, and Senior Lecturer at the University of Limerick Medical School, Dr Mary Ryan.
“I’m honoured to host this gathering of women who have achieved great things in the fields of business, politics and sport. The discussion will centre around the challenges these inspirational women faced and the lessons they learned along the way. I hope it will help any men and women out there who want to bring about positive changes in their local communities. These women have all had amazing careers, but they all started with the same small steps and the same obstacles. I think change happens from the community up. It’s about feeling the fear and doing it anyway,” Sandra Farrell, a former Mayor of Nenagh, and North Tipperary Businesswoman Of The Year, said.
“This will be a relaxed discussion over afternoon tea, but I hope it will help men and women who want to have a positive influence on their local communities. As the only female candidate in north Tipperary in the upcoming general election, I obviously believe we need more women in government, but we also need men and women to work together for a common goal, which for me, is a better way for Tipperary, a better way of empowering rural towns and villages and delivering better public services across health, housing, mental health and education,” Ms Farrell, the founder of Nenagh Foodbank and the Nenagh Christmas Day Dinner Service, said.
