RTÉ presenter Maura Derrane has a successful career in television and she believes that it's down to attitude.
The 48-year-old told Irish Country Magazine, ''When it comes to things like #MeToo, it is very sad to think that women are getting less jobs and that there isn’t enough female representation in various areas. But I know that is the reality.''
She continued, ''I believe when you enter into a business that is not very stable like television, you can’t go into work every day wondering if you will still have a job in a year or six months or two months. By nature it is volatile.''
She added, ''My attitude has always been that a natural end will come to one thing and another thing will happen. It is like a cycle.''
Maura, who has been married to Fine Gael TD John Deasy for 14 years, is mum to five-year-old Cal.
When it comes to being parents, they juggle childcare.
She said, ''I think if one person is at home, it’s easier, let’s be straight about it. Life is smoother. My mother was always at home when I was growing up and things do go smoother. If you have good childcare, which I do, then it is relatively easy."
We think she looks fantastic - see Maura in action on The Today Show with Daithi O'Shea on RTÉ, weekdays at 3:30pm.
