Clare County Council has one of the highest levels of female representation in its senior management of any Council in Ireland.

Figures released to the Dáil show that 26% of Council Chief Executives and 28% of Directors of Service – the next level of management – are women.

Three of Clare’s five Directors of Service are female, the second highest – in percentage terms – of any local authority in the country.
