Question 113: To ask the Minister for Transport if he will take action in the growing dispute between Aer Lingus unions and management over the removal of staff's right to free travel on some Aer Lingus services; his views on whether a successful resolution to this dispute can be achieved in the short term; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Both management and unions in the Dublin Airport Authority are continuing their discussions regarding the future of the travel concessions on Aer Lingus flights which are available to certain airport workers. If management and unions cannot reach agreement on the status of the concession travel arrangements, the State's industrial relations machinery is available to assist both sides. I understand that the Labour Relations Commission has invited the parties to talks and that the first meeting under the LRC is scheduled for the end of this week.
