I propose to take Questions Nos. 170, 177, 178, 179 and 180 together.
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 expressed to me by a number of Aer Lingus and Aer Rianta pensioners as well as the Retired Aviation Staff Association about the Irish Airlines (General Employees) Superannuation Scheme.
I am, however, advised that the task force is, at this stage, examining all written and oral submissions received and have engaged actuarial assistance to help with this task. When this exercise is complete, the task force will document its findings and submit them to Aer Lingus and Aer Rianta who will then revert to me. I understand that the task force expects to finalise its report in the near future.
Accordingly, it would not be appropriate for me to comment in advance of the report from the chairmen on this particular matter.
