Noel Ahern
Ceist:328 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications if he will make a transfer payment to the Irish Airlines Superannuation Scheme in respect of Aer Lingus and Aer Rianta staff members who previously served in the Defence Forces and left prior to 9 September 1968, in view of the fact that several staff members currently considering early retirement under the Aer Lingus restructuring package are affected and there is a precedent from other Government Departments for such a payment.
