Written answers

Minister for Transport

I propose to take Questions Nos. 46 and 47 together.

I can confirm that a submission has been made on behalf of some staff of the Irish Aviation Authority in accordance with Section 41 of the Irish Aviation Authority Act, 1993, which provides that a dispute on superannuation benefit may be submitted to the Minister for Transport. I am not able to comment on the details of that submission at this point but can advise the Deputies that it will be considered in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
