If I hand in my notice am I entitled to statutory redundancy

I have worked for my present employer for the past 10 years.
Our babysitter can no longer do the school runs etc as her mam is not well.
I have come to a decision that it would be best if I were to hand in my notice.
When we looked at the work scenario by the time I had paid for my diesel, paid the creche for afterschool, paid by babysitter for doing school runs it does not leave with much else.........!
So for the moment I will finish and hopefully can return to the workforce in perhaps 2/3 years. What I need to know is IF I HAND IN MY NOTICE (ONE MONTH REQUIRED BY CONTRACT) AM I ENTITLED TO REDUNDANCY OR IS IT AT THE EMPLOYERS DISCRETION. A few people have been made redundant here in our workplace over the past year. Stat Redudancy was given across the board to people they left go. But in my case I am leaving so what way does it work??
Thanks

You don't get redundancy if you hand in your notice.

Under no circumstances hand in your notice. Wait it out and hope you get made redundant otherwise you will get nothing.

I know of a girl who handed in her notice and one company only for the whole workforce to be made redundant a few days later. She lost out on thousands.
Some less honourable people have manipulated a company into making them redundant but that is another issue.

can you let it be know off the record that your volunteering for INvoluntery redundnacy??

If your employer is overstaffed, it could well suit them to make you redundant. You could raise it with them. It will cost them only €5,000 to do so.
