Ex-Carey aide seeks redundancy pay

A FORMER Fianna Fáil minister, who received a lump sum in excess of €200,000 after losing his Dáil seat, has been criticised over his failure to pay a former member of his political staff redundancy money.

Ex-Carey aide seeks redundancy pay

Former Community Affairs Minister and Government chief whip, Pat Carey, has so far not paid a redundancy sum of €4,250 due to his former constituency secretary, Linda Weir, since last March.

Ms Weir, who worked as a part-time secretary at Mr Carey’s constituency office in Finglas since 1997, has expressed concern at the continuing failure of the former TD to pay over the money given the fact that he is in receipt of large-scale severance pay and an Oireachtas pension after losing his Dáil seat earlier this year.
