Clare County Council publishes 2025 Gender Pay Gap Report
The annual Gender Pay Gap Report has been published by Clare County Council.
Employers with more than 50 employees in Ireland are required to publish their gender pay gap data before the end of 2025 and within six months of their reference date. All local authorities, including Clare County Council, use June 30 as their reference date.
The 2025 Clare County Council report shows a Mean Gender Pay Gap of -8.84% which means the average hourly rate of females is higher than the average hourly rate of males on the snapshot date. This does not mean that males are paid less than females for doing the same job, but it does indicate that, on average, females occupy higher paid roles than males.
The report also showed a Median Gender Pay Gap of -10.50 per cent. The median is the figure that falls in the middle of a range where the salary of all relevant employees is listed, from the lowest to the highest. The median pay gap is the difference between the hourly rate of the middle-paid male and the hourly rate of the middle-paid female, expressed as a percentage of the male hourly rate.
Director of Service for People and Culture, Corporate Services & Governance and ICT & Digital Services, Ann Reynolds said, “We welcome the opportunity to publish our gender pay gap data and in doing so, it helps to reinforce our focus on supporting an open and inclusive workplace. Clare County Council 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. Our public sector duty to equality and human rights is supported by many equality, diversity and inclusion initiatives and supports, and we will continue to work in this area.”
Clare County Council Head of Human Resources Monica Meehan said, “The work of local authorities is integral to everyone’s life in Ireland and our staff are key to the development of communities across County Clare. As an employer, Clare County Council strives to offer a positive and supportive environment for all our employees. This includes great learning and development and career progression opportunities, blended working, flexible and family-friendly arrangements.
