Gender Pay Gap Information Bill 2019: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-06-14
============================================================

Erin McGreehan (FF), Nominated by the Taoiseach

The Senator spoke about choice, about people being forced into labour market and that the Bill and the State are disingenuous. We, here in this House, are responsible for creating equality. Sometimes equality is not always provided for by a Bill. This Bill is about creating equity for men and women in terms of payscales. That is so much more than his description of this being the choice of women. I feel that it is a bit rich of him to say it is a woman's choice.
