233. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he is aware of reports within the tech industry whereby employers have continued to make 29 roles redundant each month across Ireland in order to not trigger the 30-employee requirement (given the size of the business) which would fall under a collective redundancy, and notice would need to be given before entering into a consultation period, given that employees facing these situations are often left in the dark, with minimal notice, support, or recourse; and if he will advocate for stronger protections for employees in Ireland's tech industry and beyond including, protection against silent layoffs, increased statutory redundancy payment, support for affected workers and increased transparency.
