I can confirm that no application under the Redundancy Payments Scheme has been submitted or received by my Department in respect of the person concerned.

It is an employer's responsibility to pay all eligible employees their statutory redundancy entitlements in the first instance should a redundancy arise. If an employer is in financial difficulty and unable to make this statutory payment themselves, an application can be submitted under the Redundancy Payment Scheme by the employer to my Department. Applications can be made through the welfare partners website -.www.welfarepartners.ie.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
