1. With reference to its previous direct request noting gaps in both the private and public sectors between male and female remuneration, the Committee notes that the Government's most recent report contains statistics up to 1991 confirming that these wage disparities continue. It therefore again requests the Government to provide information on any measures taken or contemplated to discern the reasons for the relatively high earnings gap between men and women, and to redress any causes that give rise to discrimination based on the sex of the worker.

2. Noting that the Government reports only one case where the Equal Treatment Committee used section 6a of the Equality of Treatment Act (discretion to ask an employer to make a report where infringements of the Act or non-compliance with a court ruling concerning the Act are suspected), the Committee asks the Government to continue to provide such particulars in its future reports so that it is in a position to verify that the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value is being applied not only in law, but in practice.
