The awarding of maintenance contracts is a commercial matter for the airlines concerned. I understand that my colleague, the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise Trade and Employment met with representatives of SR Technics, in the context of the employment impact of the Company's announcement. I note that the announcement issued by the company on 12 February indicated that the line maintenance operations carried out by the company at Dublin airport would continue as normal but that it is intended that these activities will transfer to another provider at some time in the future.
