"I have signed this Sectoral Employment Order into law following its approval by both Houses of the Oireachtas. This Order sets new minimum rates of pay, pension and sick pay entitlements for workers in the Construction Sector following a review by the Labour Court. It is an important step in ensuring the sector remains competitive, productive, and sustainable and will help support the delivery of the government’s multi-billion capital investment in the National Development Plan, of high quality and affordable homes under the Housing for All strategy, and the investment in renewable energy, electric vehicles, and delivering a retrofitting programme under the Climate Action Plan."
