I propose to take Questions Nos. 70 and 79 together.
I used the Casa fishery protection aircraft on seven occasions since 1 July 1997 to fulfil official engagements outside Dublin. I am informed by the Department of Defence that systems and resources are not in place to cost individual flights. Costs are estimated on a direct cost per flying hour basis. The latest direct cost per flying hour is £710, €901.51, as computed on 29 February 2000. On that basis, the total cost of all flights taken by me in the aircraft in question amounts to €8,038.50, £6,330.83.
