Ms Dara Breathnach:

I will pick up on the 30-day period and workers' rights during that period. There is an entitlement to a level of consultation. The purpose of that consultation is broadly to mitigate or investigate ways of potentially reducing the number of redundancies and so on. Workers will, of course, enjoy all the normal protections they do under the broad suite of employment rights. Essentially there is a right to participate in the consultation and to seek to mitigate any potential redundancies.
