I understand this question to be related to the recent emergency legislation which was enacted by way of Section 29 of the Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (Covid-19) Act 2020. This measure effectively suspends the provisions of Section 12 of the Redundancy Payments Act 1967 (as amended) which relate to the rights of an employee to claim a redundancy entitlement from their employer after temporary periods of lay-off and short-time work during the Covid-19 emergency period.
Unfortunately in situations where a company is insolvent and a liquidator has been appointed by the court, the reality is that employees will be made redundant by their employer. I have no statutory power to intervene in such court supervised liquidations which is governed by company law. My Department provides a safety net for employees in these situations and statutory redundancy payments and other wage related entitlements can be made from the Social Insurance Fund.
