BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, 17/08/2010

Presented by Jane Garvey. Should there be quotas for women in the the Irish Dail?

Presented by Jane Garvey. Children and asylum; a new commemorative coin for the Queen; getting pregnant after miscarriage; should there be quotas for women in the Irish Dail?

Presented by Jane Garvey. Should there be quotas for women in the Irish Dail? Mary O Rourke and Ivana Bacik debate the issue. 84 year old Patricia Diamond shares her date of birth with the Queen, and has recently been presented with a unique commemorative coin by the London Mint Office - the 2010 Vivat Regina sterling silver crown numbered 2 - the Queen has been given number 1. She joins us to talk about her life and we have a special report about what it's like to be a child refugee. Current guidelines from the World Health Organisation advise women who have had a miscarriage to wait for six months before trying again for a baby. But new research from the University of Aberdeen suggests that there is no need to delay.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
