Gender Pay Gap Information Bill 2019: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-19
============================================================

Holly Cairns (SD), Cork South-West

I agree with everything Deputy Funchion just said. Amendment No. 4 is entirely sensible. It removes ambiguity and ensures that employers must be serious about addressing any wage gap. It would require employers to set out the measures they are taking to address wage inequalities. If, in the context of this legislation, we are to be serious about addressing the wage gap, employers should be required to state how they will address gender-based discrimination. The Government needs to accept this amendment.
