Departmental Functions Dail Éireann — 2022-03-02 ============================================================ Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central In respect of the situation in Aer Lingus, as I said earlier, the Government supported the workers in Aer Lingus through the employment wage subsidy scheme and supported the company, along with other companies in aviation. Many people in the House were calling for that and we did it. The workers should be treated fairly and, in my view, on a par with UK employees in the same overall company. --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas.
