Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet (26 Jan 2017) Seán Fleming: So for 2015, give us the range depending on the hours travelled. Give us the actual outturn for 2015 or 2016, as the case may be, but also provide us with the range, that is, had it flown an additional 500 hours, what the average cost would have been in that case.

Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet (26 Jan 2017) Seán Fleming: In truth our job is to look at both sides of any costs. I want to pose some questions, if Mr. Quinn will bear with me. I have a few topics for the Department. The Comptroller and Auditor General's report says that on 15 August 2014, the Minister directed that no further work should be carried out on the aircraft, and that it should be disposed of for the best possible price. Mr. Quinn is...

Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet (26 Jan 2017) Seán Fleming: Would Mr. Quinn check it out? If it is not, it would be good to circulate it here to see Mr. Quinn's rationale as to why he arrived at that decision. I refer to chapter 8, paragraphs 12 and 13, which trouble me a little bit. Mr. Quinn spoke about having spare equipment in stock for all contingencies and how it is the job of the Army to always be vigilant, plan ahead and plan for...

Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet (26 Jan 2017) Seán Fleming: I am not narrowing your options. Do you have a plan in place if something happened to the Learjet tomorrow and it was permanently or temporarily out of commission? Surely you have a contingency.

Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet (26 Jan 2017) Seán Fleming: That is not what I asked. Let us say it is parked on a runway in any airport tomorrow and some other vehicle hits it, causing damage, and it is out of commission for a day, a week, a month or six months. What is in place today to deal with that eventuality? Surely the Department has some options as things can happen. There was a problem with the first jet and there was no contingency...

Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet (26 Jan 2017) Seán Fleming: I am not asking you to have a procurement plan in place. Obviously you can lease aircraft, as has been mentioned here, for a day, a month, three months or six months. Surely somewhere on your desk you have what could be done if you were told the jet was hit by something it in London or wherever and that it was going to be out of action for six months. It is the job of the Defence Forces to...

If there is an accident or if something hits it, the Secretary General is telling me we are here today again without a plan. I can understand it happening to the jet once, but the Secretary General is saying the Department is equally unprepared if it were to happen...

Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet (26 Jan 2017) Seán Fleming: The Department will have those tenders shortly and will be able to assess them in the coming weeks. You might send the committee an update in a couple of weeks, without disclosing any commercially sensitive information in respect of the tenders, as to what are the options. We do not know what you put to tender. I ask the Secretary General, when it is appropriate and after the Department...
