Thomas P. Broughan
Ceist:106 Mr. Broughan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the steps she intends to take to update and reform the redundancy payments legislation in view of the failure of the Redundancy Review Group to reach agreement on most of the key points; if her attention has been drawn to the comments made by the outgoing general secretary of SIPTU that it may not be possible to negotiate another national agreement in the absence of action in this area; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
