Vol. 233 No. 12

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Sligo Redundancy Payments.

51.

asked the Minister for Labour why a person in County Sligo (particulars supplied) who worked continuously on the Lissadel Estate from 1916 until 7th January, 1968 when he was dismissed, did not receive redundancy payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The person mentioned in the Deputy's question was over 70 years of age when he was declared redundant and accordingly was outside the scope of the Redundancy Payments Act. The Act gives the Minister no power to compel employers to make redundancy payments to workers who do not qualify for payment under it.
