The National Electrical Contractors of Ireland (NECI) had the electrical workers’ pay and conditions order quashed at the High Court on 25 October 2022.

The State did not object to the order sought by NECI, which challenged the sectoral employment order on several grounds.

The proceedings were struck out, and the court made a costs order in NECI’s favour.

The order set statutory pay and employment conditions for electrical workers and had taken effect at the start of February.
