I propose to take Questions Nos. 391 to 394, inclusive, together.

The redundancy payments scheme makes payments from the Social Insurance Fund. The following amounts, relating to rebates paid to employers and lump sums paid to employees, were paid from the Fund in the relevant years.

YearTotalRebatesLump sums
2010€469,968,466€373,253,295€96,715,171
2011*€312,734,888€188,252,607€124,482,281

*All 2011 figures are provisional

My Department does not maintain statistics in relation to the numbers employed by companies in receipt of rebate payments. County breakdown statistics are not currently available.
