Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet (26 Jan 2017) Catherine Connolly: I may come back to that at the end. While I did not agree with it, in the Lisbon treaty we committed to progressively increasing our expenditure on military. Where does that appear?

Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet (26 Jan 2017) Catherine Connolly: I will come back to it separately because I am under pressure to be somewhere else. I have two final questions. One is the money given to the Red Cross for flood defence. Is there a breakdown of how much of it went to the Red Cross for administration expenses or did all that money go for flood victims? My second specific question is on the spare parts. Mr. Quinn will forgive me for...

Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet (26 Jan 2017) Catherine Connolly: I want to clarify if any of it went on administration. That is the main question. The second question arises from Mr. Quinn's answer. Why was money that was allocated by the Government returned and not given out? That amount was allocated by the Government to give to the victims of flooding.

Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet (26 Jan 2017) Catherine Connolly: I have that. My question is: why was there no analysis of that? How could the Department sell the spare parts off for €53,000 if almost 50% of them were not second-hand? Where was the certification? Why was there no certification? Why did the Gulfstream people come back and say there was no certification?

Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet (26 Jan 2017) Catherine Connolly: Can Mr. Quinn justify €53,000? This question was asked by a previous Deputy. The Department was not under pressure regarding the spare parts. Unfortunately, I will have to come back to Mr. Quinn at the end. He is getting off the hook regarding that. I will come back to him.

Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet (26 Jan 2017) Catherine Connolly: I intended to ask a question about obsolete stocks tied in with the issue of spare parts. The figure for obsolete stocks jumped from €4.9 million to €8.2 million. Will Mr. Quinn talk to us about this? I am caught on spare parts where the glib - I will take away that word - where there were new parts. It was nearly 50% of them. There was no certification. When I left in a...
