The statistics required by the Deputy are shown in the table. It should be noted that up to December 2004, my Department compiled statistics on the basis of redundancies notified in each year — they did not all necessarily happen.
From 2005, with the new computer system in redundancy section, statistics are compiled on the basis of the number of redundancies that actually occurred in a given year. These figures relate to redundancies where the employees had two years service or more in an employment. They do not reflect redundancies of employees who had less than two years of service. There is no differentiation made between private and public sector redundancies.
