View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 240 and 255 together.
Following the liquidation, all employment contracts in the Republic of Ireland have been terminated, including those of the former Senior Executives.
The Special Liquidators have confirmed that the majority of staff, including some senior executives, have been re-employed on short term contracts to assist in the liquidation.
Where relevant, all staff are entitled to apply for a statutory redundancy payment, a payment in respect of accrued but unused annual leave and a statutory notice payment, subject to the limits prescribed by statute.
