On 24 August 2022, the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment was informed that the High Court had granted an Injunction prohibiting the commencement of the proposed Statutory Instrument giving effect to the new Employment Regulation Order (ERO) for the Security Industry.

As a result of the Injunction, I cannot at this moment in time proceed with the Order. To this end, my officials are actively engaged with counsel in obtaining legal advice on the matter. As the matter remains before the courts, no date can be provided for implementation of the ERO.
