I propose to take Questions Nos. 375, 376 and 410 together.
I headed Ireland's delegation to the special session of the UN General Assembly entitled "Women 2000: Gender Equality, Development and Peace for the Twenty-first Century." The special session adopted a political declaration and an outcome document with the aim of accelerating implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action.
The Programme for Prosperity and Fairness provides that a review will be undertaken of the overall structures for the monitoring and implementation of present commitments in relation to gender equality under the Beijing Platform for Action, the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the recommendations of the Second Commission on the Status of Women.
