To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will ensure that all the industrial relations mechanisms of the State are utilised as a matter of urgency to avoid the proposed upcoming strike action at Aer Lingus; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48667/12]

Industrial relation issues at Aer Lingus are a matter in which I have no direct function and are for the airline to address in conjunction with unions and employees.

I have urged the parties to re-engage in deliberations with the assistance of  the industrial relations mechanisms of the State as soon as possible so that the planned industrial action can be averted.
