The Minister of State at the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Breen, has accepted the recommendations made by the Labour Court regarding rates of pay for workers employed in the construction industry. The next step for the Minister of State is to make an order to effect the terms of the recommendation, as provided for in the Industrial Relations (Amendment) Act 2015. Can the Minister tell the House when this order will come before the House?

I do not have that information to hand but I think the procedure as to how such a registered employment agreement becomes registered is set out in legislation. As the Deputy knows, it was struck down by the courts in the past and new legislation had to be introduced to ensure it was robust from a constitutional perspective. I will ask the Minister of State, Deputy Breen, to respond to Deputy Scanlon, but there is a procedure set out in the legislation.
