Following my approval and submission of the draft Sectoral Employment Order to the Houses of the Oireachtas for consideration, the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise Trade and Employment also approved the SEO on the 1^stDecember 2021. This will now be noted in the Dáil and Seanad in the coming days.

Once the matter has appeared on the order paper of both Houses, the Sectoral Employment Order can be given legal effect through an SI which I will sign into law as soon as practicable and in advance of the statutory deadline of 16^thDecember, 2021.

This SEO is a significant step in ensuring that this important sector in our economy remains competitive, productive, and sustainable.
