Jobs in Ireland
Ireland's tech sector employs over 37,000 ICT professionals, with Dublin hosting European headquarters for many global technology companies. Around 38% of job postings include salary information, and gender pay gap reporting already applies to employers with 50+ staff — a lower threshold than the EU Directive requires. The government is taking a phased approach to Directive transposition. The Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025 covers salary range disclosure and salary history bans, while a separate Pay Transparency Bill is planned for 2026. The Department has confirmed employers will not face penalties for incomplete compliance by the June deadline. Ireland's 4-day week pilot in 2022 involved around 20 companies, and approximately 6% of Irish employers have since adopted some form of reduced-hours arrangement. Dublin and Cork are the primary markets for fair-work job seekers.
