Public Side of Gender Pay Gap Portal Officially Launched

Minister for Children, Disability and Equality, Norma Foley, has announced the launch of the public side of the Gender Pay Gap Portal. The portal allows users to see, compare and review the Employer data on gender pay gaps and filter by year, sector and Organisation size.

Voluntary Publication for 2025 Reporting Cycle

The Gender Pay Gap Portal was launched in November 2025, alongside the National Strategy for Women and Girls 2025-2030, on a voluntary basis for Organisations with over 50 Employees to upload their gender pay gap reports.

The Gender Pay Gap reports that were submitted on a voluntary basis have now become available for the public to view and will remain on the Portal when its use becomes mandatory for the 2026 reporting cycle.

Publication on the Portal to be Mandatory for the 2026 Reporting Cycle

The Employment Equality Act 1998, which was amended by the Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021, is being further amended to make it a legislative requirement for all Organisations in scope of the legislation to submit their reports to the Gender Pay Gap Portal for the 2026 and subsequent reporting cycles.

Publication on Website or Available to the Public

It is important to note that in-scope Organisations are already required to publish their Gender Pay Gap Information on their websites in 2025, or to make it available to the public in some other manner where they do not have a website. This requirement will remain in place when use of the portal becomes mandatory in 2026.
