Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of persons employed by DAA; if job losses are expected; if a guarantee will be given that as a matter of policy the staff will not be replaced with outsourced workers and that when the company is rehiring it will offer the same terms and conditions as are currently enjoyed by staff; if a further guarantee will be given that retained staff will continue to enjoy their current terms and conditions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Shane Ross)

I would like to thank the Deputy for this question in relation to employees of daa plc.  While daa plc, like all State bodies, is required to consult with my Department and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in relation to any developments which could have significant implications for general Government pay policy and the State body’s own finances, daa plc has statutory responsibility to operate, manage and develop Dublin Airport and as such, operational matters, like staff numbers and terms and conditions for staff, are all matters for the Company.  I have forwarded your question to daa plc, for direct reply. 

If the Deputy does not receive a reply from daa within ten working days, please advise my Private Office.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
