The Minister of State will be familiar with an ongoing dispute involving former employees of the Irish Aviation Authority about the superannuation scheme. I tabled a series of parliamentary questions to get information about this. All that I am really getting is that the Minister of State has examined two submissions and those submissions have been referred to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. I sought a reply from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform but it is always referred back to the Department of Transport. Perhaps this amendment will give the Minister of State an opportunity to shed some light on that dispute and bring the committee up to speed about when to expect a resolution to be reached on this long-standing issue that has caused serious concern and grief for former employees of the IAA.
