Has anyone else noticed that a large proportion of senior female Irish politicians are called Mary?
Here are the ones I can think of off the top of my head:
Mary McAleese (President)
Mary Robinson (ex-President)
Mary Hanafin (Minister)
Mary Harney (Minister, ex-Tanaiste, Party Leader/ex-Party Leader)
Mary Coughlan (Minister)
Mary O'Rourke (ex-Minister, ex-Senator, TD)
Dana RoseMARY Scallon (ex-MEP)
Mary Lou McDonald (MEP)
Mary Banotti (ex-MEP, ex-presidential candidate)
Any more?
