Local authorities in the region have reported women earned as much as, or more than, men on average during 2025.
The figures have been released as part of the Gender Pay Gap portal, launched earlier this week.
Leitrim County Council recorded the largest difference, with a mean gender pay gap of -5.71 per cent.
That means female employees earned, on average, almost 6 per cent more than their male colleagues.
Longford County Council also reported a pay gap in favour of women.
Its 2025 report shows a mean gender pay gap of minus -1.31 per cent, with the council saying the outcome reflects a higher proportion of women in senior and higher-paid grades.
Roscommon County Council likewise reported a negative gender pay gap for 2025.
The council says the figures are calculated using a snapshot of employees on June 13 and are intended to show differences in average earnings across the workforce, not whether men and women receive equal pay for carrying out the same role.
The annual reports are required under Ireland's Gender Pay Gap Information Act and now apply to employers with more than fifty employees.
