Voxpro pulled US deal over bathroom gender law

The co-founder of one of Ireland’s most successful outsourcing companies has confirmed they pulled a multimillion-dollar, 500-job investment from a US state because of its controversial “bathroom bill”.

The law, introduced in North Carolina last year, mandates that transgender people use the bathrooms matching the biological sex on their birth certificates.

Its introduction last April sparked a wave of controversy and prompted Bruce Springsteen and Ringo Starr to cancel concerts.
