I thank the witnesses for attending the meeting and for their submissions. It is unacceptable that in 2018 we have a gender pay gap of 14% so the members of the committee welcome the legislation that is being advanced. The representative of ICTU mentioned that there is a concern about the publication. Obviously, the legislation requires disclosure. What would his preference be for publication? Should it be something that is retained in the Companies Registration Office or should it just be available on the website of the company concerned?
