My Department administers the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) in relation to redundancy matters on behalf of the Department of Social Protection. 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 to employees whose employers are insolvent and/or in receivership/liquidation.

In my previous response to the Deputy on 23 November last I indicated that, on the basis of valid claims entered on the Redundancy Payments System in my Department, there was no record of a redundancy claim having been received in respect of the individual in question. I understand that this position still obtains in that no claim has yet been received in my Department.
