The sectoral employment orders, employment regulation orders and registered employment agreements are an essential part of the industrial relations make-up of the State. They are routinely and regularly challenged in the courts and that renders them, in some cases, ineffective. Is the Minister of State aware of any plans or discussions to future-proof them, by which I mean against those challenges specifically in the context of the rising rates of the minimum wage, as it comes closer to the sectoral employment rate?
