The question refers to the Irish Airlines (General Employees) Superannuation Scheme (IASS).
The IASS is a multi-employer scheme involving Aer Lingus DAA and SR Technics. Resolution of the funding difficulties in the scheme is a matter for the trustees, the companies participating in the scheme and the members and I understand that the parties are participating in discussions with the assistance of the Labour Relations Commission in an effort to find a solution to the current difficulties.
As I have no function in relation to the pension scheme the Department is not a party to these discussions.
