Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

So impressed was the Taoiseach with his Chinese visit, I was surprised that he did not declare himself a communist when he returned, following his recent transformation into a socialist.

Does the Government take stock of the impact of the carbon emissions from the jet? It is within the Taoiseach's remit so it could be done. Is the jet used within Ireland from time to time? What sort of journey would it make within the State, given that there are now plenty of roads and opportunities to travel by rail? Is there any need to use the jet within Ireland?
