My Department administers the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) in relation to both the Redundancy and Insolvency Payments Schemes on behalf of the Department of Social and Family Affairs. As I advised the Deputy in previous replies, I can confirm that my Department has received claims for the former employees of the company concerned under both Schemes.

In relation to the Redundancy Payments Scheme there are two types of payment made from the SIF – rebates to those employers who have paid statutory redundancy to eligible employees, and statutory lump sums payable to employees whose employers are insolvent and/or in receivership/liquidation. I can advise the Deputy that payment issued on 14 June 2010 in respect of six statutory redundancy lump sum claims received in my Department over the period October/November 2009 for the former employees of the company concerned.

In relation to the claims under the Insolvency Payments Scheme, my Department received applications from the liquidator in respect of holiday pay for 11 former employees of this company in the period November 2009 to April 2010. These claims have been processed by the Insolvency Payments Unit and payments issued in respect of eligible claims in May 2010.
