asked the Minister for Labour when a redundancy payment will be made to a person (details supplied) in County Cork as it is outstanding for some time.
Under the Redundancy Payments Acts, 1967 to 1979, the obligation to pay a redundancy lump sum to a redundant worker rests primarily with the employer who is obliged to notify my Department of the proposed redundancy.
