Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 October 2012
317. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Social Protection when redundancy payment will be made available to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [42601/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn on-line application for a redundancy lump sum payment in respect of the person concerned was submitted in August 2012. An application for a redundancy payment is not valid until a hard copy of the signed form is received by the Department. In this case the signed form was received on 19 September 2012. The target for processing on-line lump sum claims is 6 to 8 weeks and that target is currently being achieved. We would expect therefore that this claim will be processed before the end of November, 2012.
