578. Mr. B. Ahern asked the Minister for Industry and Energy if a claim for compensation for loss of semi-State pensionable jobs has been made by the former staff of the National Film Studios.

Minister for Industry and Energy (Mr. J. Bruton): Yes. Claims were made by the staff of the former National Film Studios of Ireland Ltd. for compensation, in the form of extra statutory redundancy payments, to the Employment Appeals Tribunal.
