Aer Lingus to meet Government officials about ‘leave and return’ deal

AER LINGUS executives are to meet with Department of Finance officials to discuss problems with a 2008 “leave and return” redundancy package.

On Tuesday, RTÉ news reported that SIPTU had confirmed that some staff had received tax demands as Revenue had deemed the scheme not to qualify for favourable tax treatment.

However, last night a spokesperson for SIPTU told the Irish Examiner that no staff had received such tax demands from Revenue.
