Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 February 2010
155 Deputy Bobby Aylward asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, further to Parliamentary Question No. 209 of 3 November 2009, if payment of statutory redundancy will be awarded to the person (details supplied) in view of the fact that further information requested from the employer has been submitted. [6401/10]
View answerMy Department administers the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) in relation to redundancy matters on behalf of the Department of Social and Family Affairs. There are two types of payment made from the SIF — rebates to those employers who have paid statutory redundancy to eligible employees, and statutory lump sums to employees whose employers are insolvent and/or in receivership/liquidation. I can confirm that my Department received lump sum applications in respect of the individuals concerned on 13 July, 2009. I understand that their claims have been processed and that payment is expected to issue within the next two weeks.
156 Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment when a statutory redundancy payment will be awarded in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6448/10]
View answerMy Department administers the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) in relation to redundancy matters on behalf of the Department of Social and Family Affairs. There are two types of payment made from the SIF — rebates to those employers who have paid statutory redundancy to eligible employees, and statutory lump sums to employees whose employers are insolvent and/or in receivership/liquidation. The Redundancy Payments System of my Department does not have on record any redundancy claim on behalf of the individual referred to. If the Deputy is in a position to provide further details, I would be happy to pass these on to my Department or, alternatively, contact could be made by the individual directly with my Department.
