============================================================

Simon Coveney (FG), Cork South-Central

As the Deputy knows, we have had a number of announcements from technology companies in Ireland about global redundancies. This has had an impact on Ireland but, in most cases, the percentage impact here has been considerably less than the percentage global reduction because Ireland continues to be a favoured location for many technology companies. In the cases of the redundancies that have been announced in Ireland, of course there are statutory obligations with regard to notice periods and redundancy payments. In most cases, the technology companies have offered well above the statutory redundancy in support payments. Of course, the arms of the State are also there to support employees to find new employment. I will get a note from IDA Ireland on Indeed and share it with the Deputy.
