I propose to take Questions Nos. 96, 99, 101 and 102 together.

Following the liquidation, all employment contracts in the Republic of Ireland have been terminated, including those of the former senior executives.

The special liquidators have confirmed that the majority of staff, including some senior staff, have been re-employed on short term contracts to assist in the liquidation.

Where relevant, all staff are entitled to apply for a statutory redundancy payment, a payment in respect of accrued but unused annual leave and a statutory notice payment, subject to the limits prescribed by statute.

I am advised by the Special Liquidators that claims over and above that described above will rank as an unsecured claim in the liquidation process.
