lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, President Juncker has said that we should have equal pay for equal work in the same place. So indeed, like Commissioner Thysson, most European citizens would believe that equal pay for equal work is guaranteed at EU level. However, in Ireland we have a discriminatory two-tier pay system for nurses, gardaí and teachers – they get paid different salaries at the same point on the salary scale, and young teachers are on a much lower scale. One teacher emailed me and said that those who began teaching after February 2012 were earning over EUR 220 000 less over a 40—year career than those who began before 2011. I wrote to the Commission, but they said there is no EU law that applies to pay scales. Nevertheless, the outcome of these discriminatory pay scales is that in Ireland we do not have equal pay for equal work over a career. How can we say to that teacher who earns EUR 220 000 less over a 40—year career that equal pay for equal work is guaranteed under EU law? We can’t. And we need to look at it."@en1
