Workers can now claim tax-free cash bumps of almost €2,300 if they were made redundant during Covid-19.
The new Government scheme has been opened by Social Protection Minister, Heather Humphreys and Enterprise Minister, Leo Varadkar.
The scheme has been introduced under the Redundancy Payments Act 2022 and applications have opened this week. The period covered goes from the start of Covid, March 13 2020, to the end of January this year.
