Ireland opted not to include the advanced landing assistance system on its new €53million Dassault Falcon 6X government jet because the technology is manufactured by Israeli defence firm Elbit Systems, according to a report by The Journal.The aircraft, which transports Taoiseach Micheál Martin and other senior ministers, was ordered without the FalconEye system as procuring it would have necessitated a direct agreement between Dublin and Elbit.In 2024, Mr Martin, then serving as defence minister, declared that Ireland would refuse to purchase equipment incorporating Israeli-made components.
