Mr. Maurice Quinn:
They were all estimates of the cost of repairs. In spending €2.5 million on repairs the Department would have achieved no more than the continued certification of the engines to enable the aircraft to continue flying. Technically, they are stripped down and put back together with updates and spare parts. It is flying time, mileage and landing issues that drive the need for a full service.
