Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Mr. Killeen)

This relates to a former employee of a private company that was grant aided by FÁS under the social economy programme. Responsibility for statutory redundancy payments rests in the first instance with the employer. I understand from FÁS that it will be in contact with the employer about this issue.
