Louth County Council Publishes 2025 Gender Pay Gap Report

Louth County Council has published its 2025 Gender Pay Gap report, which measures the average pay difference between men and women across the organisation, regardless of role or seniority.

The report reveals a gender pay gap of 1.03%, indicating that male employees are paid, on average, slightly more than their female counterparts.

Under Irish law, employers with 50 or more staff members must publish their gender pay gap data annually. For local authorities, the reference date is the 30th June, with publication required within five months.

Commenting on the publication of the report, David Conway, Chief Executive of Louth County Council, said: “Publishing our gender pay gap data helps to reinforce our focus on addressing workplace barriers to equality, supporting diversity and creating an open and inclusive workplace community.

“At Louth County Council, we strive to promote and sustain an inclusive organisational culture which provides equality of opportunity and where every employee feels valued.  This is reflected in one of our core values, which is equality and inclusiveness.

“Many equality, diversity and inclusion initiatives are already in place, and this is reflected in the figures; however, we recognise that improvement is always possible, and we will continue to monitor trends in this area over the coming years and to work with our colleagues across the sector to share best practice.”
