An tSileail Ghloine is an E.U. project funded under the ADAPT programme. It is concerned with the position of women within a changing organisational context. The project as a whole has involved a wide variety of activities. This report is only one element in the wider project and is seen as contributing to the diagnostic phase of the project. Using documentary evidence and qualitative material from focus groups, it presents a picture of the current position of women within the Údarás, together with recommendations as to how their contribution to a changing organisation can be maximised.
