The introduction of the equal value legislation in Northern Ireland in 1984 was welcomed by women as being highly significant. Progress towards wage equality between the sexes had all but ceased by the later 1970s, and the new regulations were regarded as vitally important in that for the first time they would allow comparisons between jobs which were quite different in nature, provided they were of equal value. This article examines the implementation of the regulations in Northern Ireland and highlights their inadequacies together with the practical difficulties to which they have given rise. It contrasts the attitude of the government to the problem of religious discrimination in the Province (in the face of external economic pressure from the United States) with the minimalist nature of its response to the problem of equal pay
