Liveline have received a reply from the air corps.
The planned 2 hour spin would have cost 8,130.00.
The extra-cost for the replacement helicopter may not have been as much because it was already in Cork.
But 8,130.00 is just ridiculous.
If he didn't fancy the car drive to Kerrry, why didn't he take the train 1st class which even well-heeled tribunal grade SC's have been known to do?

There's no train line from Waterford to Kerry is there?
It's not as if he would have had to drive the car himself anyway.
The road from Waterford to Kerry is now fanatastic with just a few bad bits left.
