I refer the Deputy to my previous replies of 14 October and 23 November 2004.

The previous Minister, as shareholder, indicated his consent to arrangements outlined to him by the chairman of Aer Rianta on 24 September last concerning the package the board proposed to make to the deputy chief executive who was leaving the company. I understand that the proposed package included a lump sum of 2.5 times salary, a contribution to pension fund, payment of a bonus and retention of company car.
