The State has urged the Supreme Court to overturn a far-reaching finding that a law setting minimum pay and conditions in construction and related industries is unconstitutional.
Attorney General Paul Gallagher argued on Monday that the 2015 law is “permissible delegated legislation” and the High Court erred in finding otherwise.
He was opening the State’s appeal before a five-judge court against Mr Justice Garrett Simons’ decision that the Minister of State for Business Enterprise and Innovation acted outside his powers in June 2019 in purporting to make a sectoral employment order (SEO) for electricians.
Members of Náisiúnta Leictreach Contraitheor Éireann/National Electrical Contractors of Ireland (NECI) had challenged the SEO for electricians in proceedings against the Labour Court, the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Ireland and the Attorney General.
