Government committee to study report on Aer Lingus investment options

THE Government has received the report of investment bank Goldman Sachs outlining its options for seeking outside investment for Aer Lingus.

The bank has been looking at proposals for injecting cash into the publicly-owned airline since its chief executive approached the Government about a management buy-out in June.

The report will be studied by a Cabinet subcommittee made up of the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and Ministers for Transport, Tourism and Finance in the coming weeks.
