The retirement package for the former chief executive of Aer Lingus Group plc is a matter for the board of the company. I have no role in such matters. The mandate of the State's directors on the Board is to seek to ensure that decisions of the company that have significant implications for wider Government, aviation or regional development policies are considered at board level.
