It has been agreed and will be given statutory effect from December 2019. To return to the Senator's question, it is the role of the State to ensure an appropriate legislative process. We have a strong suite of legislation covering employment rights in areas such as minimum rates of pay. Regarding the area I was in charge of, I am really proud that I put an ERO in place, working with the various stakeholders and the Labour Court. I am really glad I was the one who proposed it and we now have that order for English language schools.
