In Ireland, minimum rates of pay in the security sector are set to rise from September 28, RTÉ reports.

Under a new Employment Regulation Order, the minimum rate for an adult worker in the sector will increase from €15.41 per hour to €16.15 per hour.

Ireland’s hourly national minimum wage is currently €14.15.

The Employment Regulation Order will reportedly be signed by Alan Dillon, Minister of State for Employment, Small Business and Retail.

Mr Dillon said the move will deliver a "well-deserved pay increase for workers in the security sector".

"The security sector has continued to grow and evolve in recent years, with increasing levels of professionalism and responsibility," he said.

"This Employment Regulation Order recognises the valuable contribution made by security workers and provides greater certainty and stability for both employees and employers throughout the sector."

The Minister of State reportedly thanked the members of the Security Industry Joint Labour Committee and the Labour Court for their work in securing the outcome.
