Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The Irish Airlines (General Employees) Superannuation Scheme (IASS) is currently the subject of on-going legal proceedings by retired members of daa, Shannon Airport Authority, Aer Lingus and the former SR Technics.  Those proceedings began in July 2015. 

As this matter is sub judice I am unable to comment any further on the issue.
