Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Garda Reform and Related Issues: Discussion (26 Jun 2019)

Jack Chambers: I have two more questions. On the previous occasion Mr. Twomey was before this committee, he provided information about the real-time pilot scheme.

Select Committee on Justice and Equality: Gender Pay Gap Information Bill 2019: Committee Stage (27 Jun 2019)

Jack Chambers: When does the Minister of State expect the legislation to be commenced? When will the information start to become available? Companies with more than 50 employees have been mentioned. An unlimited company, for example, publishes very little information about the internal workings of its structures. Let us say an unlimited company has 200 employees. Under the Companies Act there would...
