Government order new jet



18:40 Tuesday February 25th 2003

The government has confirmed it is to purchase a new jet to replace the current plane, which has been giving frequent trouble in recent times. The government has been given the go-ahead to purchase a larger jet, which is to be delivered before next January, when Ireland takes over the EU Presidency. However the government will hold on to it's existing jet for the duration of the EU Presidency. A smaller aircraft, seating 7-9 persons will also be purchased giving the government three planes in total for the first six months of next year. The cost of the new aircraft have not been released, but the current G-4 aircraft cost the state 44m when it was purchased two years ago after being leased for 20 years.
