Frances Fitzgerald: Gender pay gap is not acceptable

Tánaiste Frances Fitzgerald says the gender pay gap is “unacceptable in this day and age” and that the Constitution is not the place to deal with reproductive rights.

The Minister for Justice was speaking at the National Women’s Council of Ireland’s (NWCI) AGM yesterday.

“I have always said of course that I don’t feel the Constitution is the place to deal with reproductive rights. I do believe that’s essentially better dealt with between a doctor and a woman,” the Tánaiste said.
