To celebrate International Women's Day 2018, RTÉ organised a live event with an inspirational panel of women.
Taragh Loughrey-Grant (Digital Editor RTÉ LifeStyle) was joined by Margaret Martin, (Director, Women’s Aid), Siobhan Murray, (Psychotherapist) and special guest Katherine Lynch (Comedian & Actress) for the event.
All the chat and questions were also recorded for a special podcast programme as part of The Hourglass series and will be broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1Extra's The LifeStyle Show.
Here are some of the best social media posts:
