This case refers to a Determination of the Employment Appeals Tribunal in which an award to the person was made and to the alleged failure of an employer to subsequently comply with its provisions. Enforcement of EAT Determinations is a matter for the courts. In this regard, I note that the person has secured an order of the Circuit Court seeking enforcement of the award. Enforcement, in these circumstances, is the responsibility of the relevant County Sheriff and my Department has no capacity to intervene.
