That is grand. I strongly support the amendment and the speeches that have been made by Deputy Shortall, Deputy Ó Snodaigh and Deputy Daly. They have expressed cogently my strong views on this issue. I have dozens of letters from IAS deferred pensioners and pensioners. They have spoken of their horror at their treatment after perhaps 30, 35 or 40 years of work in Aer Lingus and the Dublin Airport Authority. They remember that in our first Dáil together we had to make a decisive decision for these workers.

Unfortunately, the Tánaiste has now quit on them.
