The High Court has struck down a law providing for certain minimum pay and entitlements for electricians. The case was taken against the Labour Court, the minister for business enterprise and innovation, the State and the attorney general. The minister erred in law in concluding - on the basis of a report and recommendation submitted to her - that the Labour Court had complied with those provisions, he said. That report accompanied a recommendation in April 2019 to the minister by the Labour Court that the SEO be issued. That report was deficient because it failed to record "even the conclusions of the Labour Court on crucial matters, still less does the report state a rationale for those conclusions".
