The Supplementary Estimate is required to meet the obligations entered into by the Department in the context of settlement agreements with two airlines - Aer Lingus and Ryanair. Following mediation with Mr. Justice Paul Gilligan, settlements were agreed in respect of both actions. As indicated in the documentation, the total amount amounted to €24 million in full and final settlement of the airlines' claims, to include legal and expert costs incurred.
