Gender Pay Gap Information Bill 2019: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-06-21
============================================================

Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

I have engaged with and have had two general meetings with the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. On both occasions, Congress’s strong desire to have this Bill passed was conveyed to me very clearly by Patricia King. It is my hope, if this process can move forward, that we can have this passed by the end of this term and that is my goal. My goal is to have the regulations in place by the end of the year and to publish the content of specific breakdowns of the various criteria and factors, many of which are listed in the Bill. The direct way in which the employer will be expected to report and engage on an annual basis will be set out clearly within the regulations.
