Social media posts claimed a new Irish government strategy amounts to a covert campaign to discourage women from being homemakers, with one account alleging Minister Norma Foley had declared 'war on tradwives.'
A review of the National Strategy for Women and Girls 2025-2030 and its Action Plan found only a single reference to 'tradwife' influencers, describing them as promoting restrictive stereotypical roles, with no mention of discouraging homemaking.
The Department of Children called the claims 'absolutely false,' saying the strategy aims to give women freedom of choice among caregiving, workforce participation, or both.
