Cavan County Council publishes Gender Pay Gap Report

Cavan County Council has published its Gender Pay Gap Report for 2023, with the latest report showing the organisation’s mean gender pay gap has narrowed.

The gender pay gap is the difference in the average hourly wage of men and women across a workforce. Employers with more than 250 employees in Ireland are now required to publish their gender pay gap data. 

The 2023 report shows a Gender Pay Gap of -0.94% (mean) and -14.23% (median), compared with a mean pay gap of 2.01% and a median of -8.31% in 2022.

Publishing our gender pay gap data helps to reinforce our focus on supporting an open and inclusive workplace at Cavan County Council. Our organisation is a place where all employees have the same opportunities for recognition and career development and are treated fairly and equitably at work. We continue to be committed to addressing workplace barriers to equality and creating an open and inclusive workplace community. Many equality, diversity and inclusion initiatives and supports are already in place, and we will continue to work in this area.

Chief Executive of Cavan County Council, Mr Eoin Doyle, welcomed the publication of the report, saying “Cavan County Council’s mission statement is to be ‘a Council that leads and collaborates with all to drive and shape a better future for our County’ and as such it is crucial that we show leadership locally on this important matter”.

“Our staff are not only dedicated, skilled, and resolute in their delivery of services in the county, but they are ambassadors for our organisation, living and working in their community. It is important, therefore, that each staff member knows they are valued equally by this Council and that they can enjoy equality of opportunity in their career,” added Mr Doyle.
