Women Working At Bank Of Ireland Are Paid An Average Of 24% Less Than Their Male Colleagues

That's according to a report compiled by the bank

This compares with a gender pay gap of 30 per cent within the UK financial services sector.

44 per cent of senior appointments made by Bank of Ireland last year were women, compared with 38 per cent in 2018.

The bank is now encouraging other companies in Ireland to research and publish their own gender pay gap findings.
