I want to clarify something in the Minister of State's response. I want to ensure that we can get a guarantee from the receiver that it will be the case that if workers do not resign from their current employment there should be no obstacle to retaining their statutory redundancy entitlements. That is what the Minister of State said and I accept her bona fides but I would like some more of a guarantee and for the Government to go back to the receiver and ensure that we get that commitment in writing for employees. I spoke to some today and they are in limbo. They are not looking for work at the moment because they believe it will affect their redundancy. We need to get something in writing from the receiver that we can give to those employees.
