Reports indicate that the Irish premier's government jet has lost the ability to land safely in foggy conditions after its navigation system was removed, reportedly because the equipment was manufactured in Israel. The move appears to reflect a wider political stance against using Israeli-made technology, but it has left the aircraft with a significant operational shortfall, raising questions about the practicality of removing safety-critical equipment for political reasons.

The specific details of when the system was removed, who ordered it, and what replacement (if any) is planned are not fully set out in the available material. The change means the jet, used for transporting Ireland's head of government, cannot rely on its usual instrument landing aids in low-visibility weather, potentially disrupting official travel and raising safety and cost concerns.
