I am particularly interested in examinership but we will not go there. It is probably a little complicated and the ground may be uncertain at the moment. I refer to the idea of a stand-alone fund and a collective agreement for enhanced statutory redundancy. Would IBEC be looking at a situation where both employees and employers would look to pay into such a fund? Could that be established as a separate insurance policy within a business, as opposed to falling back onto the State at a future point?
