Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

How many are left? Were the drones replaced?

My third question concerns air transport capability. If Defence Forces personnel are to serve on similar missions, should we not obtain our own air transport which not alone could be used on such missions but also employed in our huge humanitarian aid programme, in the process giving us more independence and certainty? It would also save money in the long run.
