John Lahart (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

My contribution will focus on Dublin, and specifically on my own constituency.

When the Government announced that it would embark on an advertising campaign in relation to the national development plan, most had a notion that it would take the form of the kind of formalised departmental-type advertisements that we see in newspapers announcing plans or inviting submissions. I was surprised when I picked up the Evening Heraldyesterday to see a double-page spread that, to a person browsing through the newspaper, appears like normal articles. It is a double-page spread of articles but at the top is the little giveaway, "In partnership with the Government of Ireland."
