Redundancy Payments Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

In regard to some of the semi-State companies, people walked out of a job on Friday with a substantial body of money from the taxpayer and started a new job on Monday. I found that close to obscene on occasions and it is not something for which I would argue. I do argue for a generous payment for people who will find difficulty in getting another job, either because of their level of training, their age, the number of years they spent in the particular company or the industry they worked in which may have become out-moded.
