Leo Varadkar assures HMV staff over redundancy pay

Workers at HMV who lost their jobs when the retail chain went into liquidation will have their redundancy payments promptly dealt with, according to Minister for Social Protection, Leo Varadkar.

The minister looked to reassure the workers after HMV’s presence in Ireland came to an end with the closure of remaining outlets in Limerick, Dundrum, Henry St, and Liffey Valley.

Mr Varadkar said eligible staff would be entitled to payments from the State under the Redundancy and Insolvency Payments schemes.
