The Redundancy Payments Scheme serves a very important function in transitioning employees in the aftermath of losing their jobs through redundancy until they find further employment.

Payments from the Social Insurance Fund come within the remit of the Department of Social Protection's vote and my Department currently administers the Redundancy and Insolvency Payments Schemes on behalf of that Department.

I have forwarded your question to Minister O'Cuiv.
