Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am aware of the High Court judgment. My officials and the Attorney General's office are currently studying it. We will make a decision in the next couple of days on whether or not to appeal it. We have until 14 July to appeal. I say to anyone who works in those sectors, be it in construction, contract cleaning, electrical contracting or anyone covered by an SEO or an ERO, that their employer does not have the right to change the terms and conditions on foot of this judgment. There is a stay on its execution. We will make a decision between now and 14 July as to whether or not we will appeal it. It depends on if we believe we have a strong case to appeal it. If we have a strong case to appeal then we will and I look forward to updating Deputies on that once it the decision is made.
