It is not agreed. It is welcome that the Labour Court has finally formally intervened in the ongoing pay dispute between Aer Lingus and the Irish Air Line Pilots Association. I do not think it can be overstated how essential it is that a resolution is found to this dispute, for families who are worried their holidays may be cancelled, but equally for the tourism and hospitality sectors which are deeply worried by it. I called on the Taoiseach some weeks ago to intervene in this matter. I repeat that I hope the Labour Court's efforts are fruitful and that we find a resolution but in the event there is no resolution, it is imperative that time is cleared on next week's schedule for debates, statements, and for the Taoiseach to make clear, as Head of Government, what intervention he proposes to make at that stage.
