At present, the Department is not in a position to provide a breakdown of the redundancy statistics by county, sector or gender. Work on the reporting facility of the redundancy payments system is ongoing. It is hoped that it will be possible to provide these types of data in the near future but I am not in a position to specify a date for this to happen. The Department will communicate with the Deputy when these are available. Information on the overall number of redundancy applications received by the Department is available on the Department’s website www.welfare.ie.
