Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I thank the Taoiseach for outlining the procedures involved. Where are the Government jets normally housed? Are they in a hangar at Baldonnel or Dublin Airport? Will the Taoiseach tell the House the number of occasions in 2006 on which the jets travelled from Baldonnel to Dublin Airport? These are short hop trips which add to their wear and tear. There is a perception that the Taoiseach and the line-up of exalted Ministers do not need to travel on the M50 and put up with the traffic jams, unlike the rest of us.
