Ciaran Mullooly spoke out on a trip to Poland.
Women in Offaly and Westmeath have been badly served by the Just Transition Fund by not being targeted for earlier employment initiatives.
That's the view of Midlands North West MEP Ciaran Mullooly who is making the comment on a trip to the Silesia region of Poland,
The region has been affected by coal mine closures with workers struggling to find employment.
His visit will be tied into a report that will advise the European Commission on where to direct funds for the next three years.
MEP Mullooly says it often affects families with people over the age of 50:
