Amharc ar fhreagraAs the State is a shareholder in Aer Lingus, I am constrained by the Irish Takeover Panel Rules and other requirements in what I can say in relation to Ryanair's proposed bid for Aer Lingus.
Pension entitlements of Aer Lingus employees are a matter for the Trustees of the Schemes, the companies involved and the members of the schemes.
