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

A claim for payment of a statutory redundancy lump sum out of the social insurance fund has been received in my Department in respect of the person concerned. The claim is being processed at the present time. Under the Redundancy Payments Acts 1967 to 2003, a redundant employee is entitled to two weeks pay per year of service plus one bonus week at the gross rate of pay, up to a ceiling of €600 per week.
