I have not yet received a report from the chairmen of Aer Lingus and Aer Rianta on the work of the task force established by the Chairmen to examine concerns which have been expressed to me by a number of Aer Lingus and Aer Rianta pensioners about the Irish airlines general employees superannuation scheme.
I understand that interested parties have been invited by the task force to make submissions related to any concerns about the pension scheme in question. The deadline for receipt of the submissions is 28 January 2000, following which the task force may hear oral submissions. I understand that the task force intends to finalise its report as soon as practicable thereafter.
