Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 16 December 2016
478. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the total use his Department has made of the Government jet since coming into office; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40677/16]
View answerSince coming into office I have travelled on the government jet twice, both times in the company of other Government Ministers. I travelled to Luxembourg on both occasions for Environment Council meetings and, on both occasions, the government jet had already been requested by colleague Ministers; its use by me meant that the time I spent out of the country on official business on these occasions could be kept to a minimum.
