Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 January 2011
315 Deputy Seán Power asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will confirm that an application for redundancy was received in respect of persons (details supplied); when payment will issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2423/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraOn 1 January 2011, the Department assumed responsibility for making redundancy payments from the Social Insurance Fund. There are two types of redundancy payment made from the fund i.e. rebates to those employers who have paid statutory redundancy to eligible employees and statutory lump sums to employees whose employers are insolvent and/or in receivership/liquidation. I can confirm that statutory redundancy lump sum claims in respect of the four individuals concerned were received on 22 October, 2010. These claims are pending processing. Lump sum claims dating from June 2010 are currently being processed.
