Explanatory Note

The Protection of Employment Act, 1977, transposed into law Council Directive No. 75/129/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to collective redundancies. This Directive was subsequently amended by Council Directive 92/56/EEC and the purpose of this order is to give effect to those amendments in the 1977 Act.
