The audit said despite concerns over this person's eligibility under the scheme, it was decided that under the Redundancy Payments Act he was entitled to almost €60,000: two weeks' pay per year for 1992 to 2010 (€33,354); an undisclosed bonus week payment; a €23,664 ex-gratia payment and €1,130 "in lieu of notice" to leave under the cost-saving measure.

I was thinking if this was the Indo the headline would be something like: Windfall after 18 year sickie nets a cool 60k.

Nice work (or not) if you can get it.
