Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The legislation in respect of the registered employment agreements, REAs, has been brought forward and the commitment is that all the workers in Aer Lingus will be included in those REAs and that they will be extended to those not currently covered. Aer Lingus has not had compulsory redundancies in the past and the letter was very clear about that to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. I hope our country will benefit from increased connectivity and jobs with more pilots.
