We will have further situations where people are left in insolvency and where their payments or their wages are suddenly cut off. There is sometimes a bit of confusion about what they are eligible for, particularly what they are eligible for that will not impact their redundancy once all of that has been worked out. I suggest that we might have a toolkit or a standard package of frequently asked questions that people could have and that could be ready even in the Intreo offices. To have a designated person as well would be ideal. It is a matter of having something where questions could be answered for them really quickly as to where they can get supports, how they can get them and reassurance to the effect that it would not impact their final redundancy settlement.
