SIR PATRICK HANNON, M.P., who accepted with pleasure the President’s invitation to propose a vote of thanks to Mr. Hicks, said he felt that perhaps he ought to apologise to the President and members for speaking so frequently at meetings of the Institution at which he was honoured to be invited. But he was particularly proud and privileged to be present on that occasion and to be asked to propose a vote of thanks to his Honourable friend and colleague, Mr. George Hicks, the Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of Works.

Viewpoint: Rethinking the return to work in an industry where mothers are still underrepresented

Niamh McCloskey reflects on her personal experience of the challenging reality of returning to work after maternity leave, questioning whether workplaces truly support women in this transition and highlighting how, with the right support and recognition of the new perspectives and skills that motherhood can bring, we can retain mothers and allow them to thrive in underrepresented industries.
