Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

In any event, I am anxious to find out from the Taoiseach whether he was asked for authorisation for the use of this service to move the Gulfstream jet from Phoenix, Arizona to Las Vegas overnight. What was the purpose of that movement? Did the Taoiseach authorise it? We know from records that the jet flew from Las Vegas to Phoenix the following day to pick up the Minister for Health and Children who had travelled from Prescott to Phoenix by limousine at a cost of more than €500. As I stated, the Minister was entitled to her private day with her husband. Has the Taoiseach been informed of the reason for the movement of the jet from Phoenix to Las Vegas? Why was it requested? Was he told about it and did he authorise it?
