It would not be right for me as an Irish woman parliamentarian not to speak out on the subject. What efforts have been made by the Government to call for dialogue between the...
- Seanad: Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (Gender Pay Gap Information) Bill: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2017)
Rose Conway Walsh: I move amendment No. 1:In page 3, line 17, to delete "may" and substitute "shall". These are simple amendments to ensure that neither the scheme nor the publication will be optional and to ensure it will not be left to the discretion of the company whether to partake in the scheme. I fail to see the point in making legislative provision if people can just actively ignore it. It would have...

I think people will really despise the way the term "common culture" is used as a fancy...
