Vol. 441 No. 5

Written Answers. - Air Flights.

Bernard J. Durkan

Question:

126 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Defence the total number of air flights requisitioned by the Government in the past 14 months, excluding scheduled air transport but including helicopter flights, internal and overseas; the number and status of passengers on board; the destination of each flight; the total cost of such transport; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The number of such flights carried out by the Air Corps in the period 1 February 1993 to 31 March 1994 was 484, of which 345 were carried out by fixed wing aircraft and 139 by helicopter. The additional information sought by the Deputy is not readily available. I am advised that a disproportionate amount of time and work would be involved in its compilation.
