TÁNAISTE MICHEÁL MARTIN has confirmed that he has signed off on the plan to buy a new Government jet.
The Government jet has suffered technical problems, forcing the Taoiseach at the time to avail of a CASA maritime patrol aircraft to ferry him back from Brussels on one occasion. He said the plane should be able to get to locations where Irish citizens need to be evacuated quickly. Martin said he believed now was the time to kick off the procurement process, stating that ”future governments” will benefit from the new aircraft, rather than the current government ministers.
While no cost has been attached yet to the new purchase, sources state smaller aircraft cost around €50 million, so the cost of the new ten-seater plane could exceed this amount.
Escape plan taking shape I see. The destination, Switzerland or some sunny off-shore haven I presume..
See that Mary Lou, they’re buying you a new jet for when you get in?
Really? They need a new jet? Education and Policing are at breaking point, with Healthcare now non-existent, and the government need a new f**king jet?
And probably with privileges for former Taoiseach and Tànaiste.
Because they're worth it? Thieves!!!
Practice what you preach …. Go green! Use voom
Get the fuck need a new jet we are in a cost-of-living crisis are these lads living in the same fucking world
Everyone had enough of these Traitor's yet?
Bha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. God excuses. It'll be flying to Davos every year.
Of course he has, no money for homeless, FFP2/3 masks, hepa filters, but there’s always a spare €1000000 to get gov a new toy that will help destroy the planet, who cares if the citizens suffer/die, as long as MichealMartinTD & co have a new jet to get them from dub to cork!
Is that for Eamon Ryan?
How could it possibly take 3 years to procure a jet?
Of course he has. Sure it will boost his esteem and all those who will travel in it while the tax payer will fund it. No making up excuses of not being able to afford to pay for this but our ambulances and health service struggle along with our poor in society.
See they don't want money left in the kitty when they'll know they'll be kicked outa office
But but .. climate change
Hypocrites the lot of them. Dictating to the citizens about carbon emissions. Then the hxxrs go off a buy a private jet with taxpayers money to pollute the atmosphere.
These fuckers need to fly in economy class. As we hurtle further towards climatebreakdown , private jets just can not be a thing.
Ffs get these cxxts out
