Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet (26 Jan 2017) Alan Kelly: I know there were extenuating circumstances and the Department was left, for want of a better phrase, over a barrel. Given the scale of the losses incurred, an interdepartmental group was set up to review all potential future uses and requirements in 2014. It was to report on the requirements for such a service. Has this report come out?

Has the Department a work programme for the next number of years to conduct a similar amount of work that took place in 2015 due to the state of the inherited stock and lack of funding down through the years? It is fair enough if the work is necessary. Was there a spike in 2015 or is it a trend? It is fine if it is a trend.
