Summary
The Minister has no plans to reintroduce weekly redundancy payments, which were abolished under the 1979 Act.
asked the Minister for Labour if it is intended to reintroduce a weekly redundancy payment scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Comment on this
I have no plans to re-introduce weekly redundancy payments.
These payments were abolished only last year under the Redundancy Payments Act, 1979, following prolonged and detailed discussions with the Irish Congress of Trade Unions and I outlined the matter in my speech on the Second Reading of the Bill on 13 February 1979.
