Séamus Brennan (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

That is a very detailed question, the response to which I must check carefully. Anybody who works for Aer Rianta remains there with the newly named Dublin authority until the changeover date, 30 April 2005, at the earliest. Then, subject to all the checks and balances built in, including the agreement of the Oireachtas, staff would transfer. There will be no staff transfers before 30 April 2005 at the earliest and then only after the checks and balances have been observed, if that is the will of the House, and the relevant Ministers are satisfied. I assume those conditions will cover staff taken on in the ordinary way. If the Senator permits me to double-check that, I will respond to him. I assume that would be the case.
