Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 April 2011
181 Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason for the delay in payment of statutory redundancy in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Waterford; when payment will issue; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [6425/11]
View answerOn 1 January 2011, the Department assumed responsibility for making redundancy payments from the Social Insurance Fund. The processing of such payments was previously the responsibility of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Innovation. I can confirm that a statutory redundancy lump sum claim in respect of the individual concerned was received on 17 November, 2011. This claim is awaiting processing, taking account of the high number of claims on hand it is expected that this claim will be processed shortly.
