Written Answers. - Aer Lingus Group.

255. Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications the current financial position of Aer Lingus; if he will give details of the company loans and borrowings; the likely developments over the next five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5611/97]

Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications (Mr. Dukes): I refer the Deputy to the following reply to a similar question on 12 February 1997, a copy of which I am forwarding to him.

The Deputy will appreciate that, for reasons of commercial sensitivity, it would be inappropriate to give details of Aer Lingus's loans and borrowings other than those which are contained in the annual accounts of the Aer Lingus Group.
