Aer Lingus report is expected soon

Financial experts who were given the task of deciding the likely future of the state-owned airline, Aer Lingus, are expected to present their report to the Minister for Public Enterprise, Mary O'Rourke, in the next few days.

Minister O'Rourke has repeated that she favours floating the company on the stock market instead of selling it to another operator, but she says that she will make her final decision on the basis of this week's report.
