Section 3 (5) of the Aer Lingus Act 2004 provides that the general principles of the disposal of shares in Aer Lingus must be laid before and approved by the Dáil prior to any disposal. In accordance with this requirement I will move a motion setting out the general principles of the proposed initial public offering of shares in Aer Lingus in the House in the coming weeks.
