Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 November 2020
38. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment when his Department will sign and implement the employment regulation order for contract cleaning and security industries. [37243/20]
View answerThe Chairman of the Labour Court wrote to me on the 4 November 2020 confirming that the Court has adopted proposals for an employment regulation order ('ERO') in the contract cleaning sector. Accordingly, I have received draft recommendations and a statutory report supporting the legal basis for the ERO. I am giving the matter due consideration.
I understand that a draft ERO concerning proposals for the security sector has been returned by the Labour Court to the Joint Labour Committee ('JLC') on the grounds that it could not ascertain whether the statutory requirements for it to adopt the proposals had been met.
