Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 559 to 561, inclusive, together.

The Deputy will be aware that the Irish Airlines (General Employees) Superannuation Scheme (IASS) is currently the subject of on-going legal proceedings and I am therefore restricted as to what I can say and the documentation that I can make public in relation to the scheme.

The information sought by the Deputy covers a number of issues relating to the scheme, some of which would be available in my Department, particularly those records relating to the superannuation scheme provisions included in the State Airports (Shannon Group) Act 2014.  However, those particular records could amount to thousands or tens of thousands of documents, depending on the timeline.  If the Deputy would like to contact my Department to discuss how such documentation may be made available to her, whether by means of a Freedom of Information request or otherwise, my officials will assist as best they can, having regard to Discovery as well as Freedom of Information procedures.
