21 Mr. Rabbitte asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the recent ESRI study showing that Irish women earn 20 per cent less than men and particularly the views of the authors that equal pay legislation on its own was unlikely to bridge the gap and that what was needed was a shift towards providing child care services to encourage more women to work; his response to the report; the action, if any, he intends to take based on the report's findings; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
