Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 December 2010
101 Deputy Darragh O’Brien asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation the position regarding a redundancy claim in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46537/10]
View answerMy Department administers the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) in relation to redundancy matters on behalf of the Department of Social Protection. 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 a statutory redundancy lump sum claim in respect of the individual concerned on 12 April 2010. I am pleased to advise the Deputy that my Department has recently authorised the claim for payment. Payment of the redundancy amount due should issue within the next few weeks.
