Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

Is the Government jet used where there are available direct scheduled flights between Irish airports and the capital concerned? For example, is it used in connection with business in Brussels and, if so, how many times has it been used given the reasonably regular scheduled service to that city?

The Taoiseach referred to the Government jet. There are three such aircraft or two and a half at least. The Beechcraft was acquired in 1980 and Gulfstream IV was acquired in 1991. Are there any plans to replace those aircraft?
