Aer Lingus can't secure investment as long as this pension issue is hanging over it. Who would invest in an airline that may or may not be liable to pay hundreds of millions into a €750mln pension deficit? Once that uncertainty is removed, they will have no problem securing investment in the airline which will benefit all shareholders.
