Ibec, the group that represents Irish business, today congratulated Minister of State for Equality, Immigration and Integration, David Stanton T.D, and members of the Balance for Better Business initiative on their new report that set targets and recommendations to improve gender balance in senior leadership in Irish companies.

Ibec CEO Danny McCoy, a member of the review group for the report, said: “The Balance for Better Business will lead to a welcome step change for boards in corporate Ireland.  This is a hugely significant development for business leaders in Ireland and will be embraced as part of the continuing evolution and strengthening of the Irish business model.
