Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 April 2015
20. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the pension issue was raised during discussions in relation to the International Airlines Group takeover bid for Aer Lingus; if not, the reason; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16490/15]
View answerI have given an update on the situation in relation to the Aer Lingus shareholding in my response to Priority Question No. 4. As I said the engagement with IAG has centred on the considerations set out in my statement of 24 February, which do not include pension issues.
Matters relating to Aer Lingus's main pension scheme, the Irish Airlines Superannuation Scheme, are primarily for the scheme's Trustee, the companies participating in the scheme, the scheme members and the Pensions Authority.
