I am currently in the process of finalising a National Aviation Policy and I intend to publish it in the near future.  The National Aviation Policy will address all aspects of aviation policy from safety, security and economic regulation of the industry to airlines and airports policy. Regarding Aer Lingus, no formal offer has yet been made by IAG and both companies have indicated that there can be no certainty that a formal offer will be made.  Discussions are ongoing.
