Further to the notification my Department received in late 2008 from the company in question, notifying its intention to effect collective redundancies at the company, applications were subsequently submitted by the company seeking a 60% rebate of the statutory redundancy amounts paid out to employees. The applications have been examined to see if they meet the eligibility criteria set down in the Redundancy Payments Acts 1967 to 2007. Arising from this examination, additional information was sought from the company. My Department awaits a response from the company in relation to the issues raised. It is departmental policy not to comment publicly on any particular company's applications for redundancy payments. No more recent notification of further collective redundancies at the company has been received in the Department.
