Minister for Public Enterprise (Mrs. O'Rourke)

I met representatives of the Retired Aviation Staff Association on 10 October 2000 concerning the Aer Lingus and Aer Rianta pension scheme. No arrangements have been made at this juncture for a further meeting with the association.

My reply to Questions Nos. 169 and 183, dated 28 November 2000, provides information on the current position regarding Aer Lingus and Aer Rianta pensions.
