Taoiseach rules out Cortex redundancy probe

An investigation into Vita Cortex’s refusal to pay redundancy to 32 workers will not be possible, the Taoiseach told the Dáil.

He said statutory redundancy from the State — two weeks’ wages for each year of service — will be paid into the workers’ bank accounts on Monday.

The company’s owner, Jack Ronan, has claimed inability to pay the further €372,000 workers believe they are owed.
