I move amendment No. 1:

In page 4, to delete line 22 and substitute the following:
"to a class A fine.
(7) An employer who employs more than 100 staff, and who contravenes the provisions of a scheme made under this section, shall have their company title published by the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission.".".

This is a decent amendment which strengthens the Bill brought to the House by Labour Party Senators. It draws attention to companies that are at fault in that they pay female employees less than their male counterparts.

Will I have an opportunity to speak on the Bill as a whole?
