State Airports Shannon Group Bill
Deputy Dooley asks when the Shannon Group legislation will reach the Dáil amid industrial-relations and pension concerns. The Minister says it is at Committee Stage in the Seanad and should reach the Dáil for completion before the recess.
The Minister will be aware of the difficulties encountered as a result of the recent strike at Aer Lingus. The State Airports (Shannon Group) Bill, due in the House shortly, will compound some of the industrial relations issues there and have an impact on those who are on pensions in the airport sector. When is this legislation, which is currently before the Seanad, expected before the Dáil?
Comment on this
I understand it commenced in the Seanad and is on Committee Stage there today. Having completed the process in the Seanad, it will be before the Dáil with a view to taking all Stages before the recess.
