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

Fintan Warfield (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

I thank Senator Higgins for seconding the amendment. As amendments Nos. 41 and 47 were ruled out of order, this will be my last contribution on Committee Stage. Amendment No. 37 is fair. We have already discussed non-compliance, consequences and whether names should be published by the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, which is fair. If there is a failure to publish the required information on more than one occasion in five years, then names should be published. It is not like a "first strike and you are out". I will welcome what the Minister has to say about this amendment, but it is fair.
