Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 June 2023
276. Deputy Patrick Costello asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will provide an update on the Employment Regulation Order in relation to the minimum rate of pay for security workers and the High Court injunction currently taking place. [30590/23]
View answerOn 3 August 2022, the former Minister of State for Business, Employment and Retail announced his intention to issue an Order to give effect to a statutory recommendation of the Labour Court concerning minimum rates of remuneration and other terms and conditions in the Security Sector. The Order was to apply from 29 August 2022.
On 24 August 2022 my Department was informed that High Court had granted an injunction prohibiting the commencement of the proposed Statutory Instrument giving effect to the new Employment Regulation Order for the Security Industry.
At this moment in time the Order cannot be proceeded with and the matter is before the courts.
