The individuals concerned were not employees of the Department. Therefore issues regarding redundancy payments are for their contractor/employer to address. However, where a contractor / employer is unable to pay statutory redundancy to employees it is open to them to avail of the Department’s redundancy and insolvency payments’ scheme, details of which are available on the Department’s website.

Question No. 183 withdrawn.
