Section 41 (7) of the Irish Aviation Authority Act, 1993 provides that a dispute on superannuation benefit may be submitted to the Minister for Transport for determination by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.

I can confirm that two such submissions have been received by my Department on behalf of staff of the Irish Aviation Authority. These appeals are now with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform in accordance with the statutory process. Officials are engaging on those appeals.

As the appeal process is ongoing, I am not in a position to provide any further comment at this stage.
