The Protection of Employment Act 1977 makes it mandatory on employers proposing a collective redundancy:
(a) to engage in an information and consultation process with employees’ representatives and
(b) to notify the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection of the proposed collective redundancy (SI 140/1977 sets out the information an employer is obliged to provide to the Minister).
I have not received notification of a proposed collective redundancy in the company in the past two years.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
