Gender Pay Gap Bill, Kastus CEO & Christine Lagarde's in Town

A Bill compelling employers to publish data on their gender pay gaps received Cabinet approval this week. Speaking on today's podcast, Marguerite Bolger SC, an expert in employment law, says it's welcome news but other measures are needed to increase the number of women in better paid roles. She joins Ciarán Hancock and Irish Times journalist Laura Slattery to discuss the pros and cons of the Bill and what impact it might have. Later in the show: As the deadline for this year's Irish Times Innovation Awards approaches, Ciarán talks to John Browne, CEO of last year's winner Kastus. The company produces anti-microbial technology, which has been making waves internationally since taking the top award for 2017. This year's deadline is Friday July 6th.But first, as always, Peter Hamilton has a roundup of some of the week's other stories, including IMF MD Christine Lagarde's visit to Dublin this week and why motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson has fallen foul of Donald Trump.
