Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

Travelling in the smallest jet. So small that we are always last in the queue to take off.

The Beechcraft has been replaced by the Learjet to provide the ministerial air service. It is now mainly used by the Air Corps and would only be used for ministerial travel if nothing else was available and normally for local flights within the State. Some of my colleagues must use it to travel to Brussels on occasion.
