I propose to take Questions Nos. 124, 138, 146, 170, 175, 194 and 344 together.
I have already outlined the current position in regard to the future of Aer Lingus and the Goldman Sachs report in my response to Question No. 111. It will be a matter for the Cabinet sub-committee to decide whether to publish this report.
With regard to meetings with Aer Lingus, as part of a series of introductory meetings with chairmen and managements of all the semi-State bodies under my remit, I recently met the chairman and senior management of Aer Lingus. I have also met with the various trade unions at Aer Lingus. During the course of these meetings, there was some discussion on both future strategy and funding requirements but it was recognised that these matters would be dealt with in the context of the considerations of the Cabinet sub-committee. Officials from my Department meet on a regular basis with senior management to discuss normal business issues.
