Public Accounts Committee: 2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 35 – Army Pensions
Vote 36 - Department of Defence
Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet
(26 Jan 2017)

Alan Kelly: Mr. Quinn said that he does not agree that the recommended discount cash flow analysis of life cycle costs should have been undertaken in this case because of particular and extenuating circumstances. While it seems that the Department was somewhat over a barrel given the situation that it found itself in with regard to the jet's condition and where it was located in this case, could Mr....

(26 Jan 2017)

Alan Kelly: The jet was taken to Savannah and opened up. It was realised that the repair costs of it were not worth it, given the amount of time it was going to be available to the State, or furthermore, given the cost it would take to actually get it airborne in the US, which were costs of €1.34 million or €1.8 million respectively, as the witness said. The Department was left to make...

Chapter 8 – Disposal of the Government Jet
(26 Jan 2017)

Alan Kelly: I accept that the Department was caught in a very difficult situation, given perceived value versus actual value and given that the jet had been opened up. I am interested, though, in the actual sale because the process by which the sale went through is not out there in the public. There is a very closed environment. I can understand that because of the nature of who the Department was...

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?
