Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 July 2026
2102. Deputy Mark Wall asked the Minister for Social Protection the projected cost in 2027 of increasing the ceiling on the statutory redundancy payment from €600 to €1,000 or €1,200 respectively; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [59022/26]
View answerThe Department of Social Protection does not currently collate data on the number of claims where the statutory wage ceiling of €600 is enforced, or where it is enforced, the amount by which it is reduced.
As such it is not possible to provide an accurate projection of the cost resulting from any potential increase in the statutory wage ceiling.
