I thank the Taoiseach for his reference to the Labour group and myself having introduced the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (Gender Pay Gap Information) Bill 2017 in this House as a Private Member's Bill. It is very important legislation, which we very much hope will finally see the light of day in 2020. I ask the Leader to use his offices with the Taoiseach to inquire as to the progress on the gender pay gap legislation which we have been promised since I first introduced my Bill in this House. I hope it comes into effect next year to address the serious issue of the ongoing gender pay gap between women and men.
