Gender quotas and NUI Galway

Sir, – A report is recommending the introduction of gender quotas for staff positions at NUI Galway ("Gender quotas proposed for NUI Galway", Front Page, April 14th). In NUI Galway, women account for just 14 per cent of full professors – the joint-lowest in the sector.

No more talking about this issue. Action is long overdue. Get on with it. – Yours, etc,

DAMIEN CARROLL,
