The sold-out event included speakers, Emma Heatherington, bestselling Irish author, and Vanessa McMinn, registered dietitian, freelance dietitian and sports nutritionist, and Carol Doey acted as MC.
Chair of the Council, Councillor Eugene McConnell, said: “The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day was ‘Accelerate Action’. Acceleration requires all of us—leaders, businesses, communities, and individuals—to take deliberate steps, to challenge outdated systems, and to create real, lasting change.”
