The Port of Cork Company's first gender pay gap report reveals an overall gender pay gap of 23%, which the company said is mainly due to an imbalance among its workforce.

Despite the reported percentages exceeding the published national average of 12%, the company said the figures are consistent with other male-dominated industries such as construction and insurance. "With 11% of our workforce being female, and nearly half of them occupying positions in the lower pay quartile, our gender pay gap naturally reflects an imbalance," she said.

Last year it released its first D&I Policy Statement, outlining its commitment to nurturing an inclusive work environment where all employees feel welcome, respected, and valued.
