Multiple reports say the Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, uses a Dassault Falcon 6X jet worth about €53 million (£45 million). One account says the aircraft is intended to be equipped with a FalconEye system, designed to help the plane land in poor weather conditions such as fog. The reports further claim that the jet cannot land in fog after its navigation-related system is removed. They add that the equipment was made in Israel, attributing the issue to the removal of a component connected to the jet’s navigation/landing capability. The two provided entries come from the same outlet and repeat the same claims, including the aircraft model, the FalconEye capability, and the stated reason the system was removed. The reporting focuses on alleged technical constraints affecting landing in fog and links the claimed problem to changes made to the jet’s navigation-related equipment. No additional independent sources are included here to confirm the technical details or the specific circumstances of the removal.
