Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I previously raised the concern of Aer Lingus pensioners about the future of their pension entitlements and Deputy Morgan did so again last night. The Minister for Finance replied that the pension fund was not in debt but he added, significantly, that this would be the case if there was a mandatory link to the consumer price index. I am assured by Aer Lingus workers that the CPI increases have been paid in all but two years over the five decades since the pension fund was set up in 1952.
