Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation

Duncan Smith (LAB), Dublin Fingal

As the Tánaiste and the Minister are aware, there are still hundreds of Aer Lingus workers who are seeking the retrospective entitlement to short-time work under the period the company was in receipt of the temporary wage subsidy scheme. It is now November, the eighth month of the crisis. The delay or denial of this entitlement to workers cannot go on and despite seemingly positive responses from the Minister on this, many workers are still unable to claim this entitlement. This entitlement cannot be allowed to time out.
