Deirdre Clune (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

It is because of an ERO that employers in the security industry are obliged to implement a pay increase of 10% to 13% that many of them cannot afford. I have spoken to employers and employees in the industry who do not want to take it because they realise their jobs and businesses are at risk. They cannot afford the pay increases. Has the Minister of State met the security industry? What can he offer to it?
