Vol. 524 No. 5
188 Mrs. Owen asked the Minister for Public Enterprise the discussions she has had with regard to the pensions for retired Aer Lingus and Aer Rianta personnel who are seriously discriminated against because of their rate of pension; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [23043/00]
I met representatives from the Retired Aviation Staff Association, RASA, on 10 October 2000 to hear details of their submission for enhanced pension benefits presented to the task force on pensions. I briefed the Taoiseach, informally, on the issues raised by the association at that meeting.
At the meeting I undertook to raise the concerns of the Retired Aviation Staff Association with the chairmen of Aer Lingus and Aer Rianta and I hope to do this later this week.
