Public and private sector employers with more than 250 employees are now required to publicly disclose the pay gap between male and female employees on an annual basis.

This follows the recent signing of the Gender Pay Gap Information Bill into law by President Michael D Higgins. What this effectively means is that gender pay gap reporting is now mandatory in Ireland.
