174. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will clarify his Department's response to the current impediments placed on the ERO for security workers; if he intends to take action on the issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50801/22]
View answerThe Statutory Instrument giving effect to the new Employment Regulation Order for the Security Industry was to apply from 29 August 2022. However, on 24 August 2022, my Department was informed that the High Court had granted an Injunction prohibiting the commencement of the proposed Statutory Instrument. Department Officials have engaged the Attorney General’s office on the matter. However, as the matter is still before the Courts, it would be inappropriate to make any further comment at this time.
