Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 March 2010
154 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the reason for the delay in refunding a redundancy payment to a company (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12701/10]
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 two rebate claims from the company concerned in February, 2009. Further information was requested in relation to the claims submitted and, while a reply was received which enabled one of the claims to be processed and paid, the information requested in respect of the second employee is still, according to my Department's records, outstanding. Upon receipt of the outstanding information in relation to the second employee and, providing it is in order, the claim will be processed.
