- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: SIPTU and NRBU (18 Jul 2018)
John Lahart: I am as passionate about public transport as Mr. O'Leary is. In my area we were able to live with traffic congestion in the early 1990s when it was at its peak because we saw the M50 being built. All the ring roads and other infrastructure was put in place. I now have tell people at public meetings that there is no silver bullet now and no outer ring road that could be built. Even if it...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: SIPTU and NRBU (18 Jul 2018)
John Lahart: Jarrett Walker & Associates did not consult about London. I am sorry for mentioning Mr. Walker's name, but it is out there and I did not bring it into the equation. It consulted in cities that are gridded like the Melbournes and the Aucklands of this world, with big boulevards. It did not consult in London. What was done in London was very simple; they took the car out of London....

John Lahart: This would be a huge missed opportunity because there is a great deal of enthusiasm for the proposals. However, the rubber has not hit the road yet because there has not been proper and full engagement. Deputies and councillors are all looking at the maps. I see some positives and negatives. Mr. O'Leary referred to the 15B route. I understand the witness he makes that the route will no...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: SIPTU and NRBU (18 Jul 2018)
John Lahart: People watching the proceedings will think I am defending the plan, which is not the case. We are having a conversation about it. Mr. O'Connor should not shoot the messenger when I am only teasing it out. The NTA made clear that those maps are mid-day as opposed to peak-time timetables. That is a critical point. Buses will operate on Route 15 serving Knocklyon every 15 minutes, whereas...

John Lahart: One never knows. I welcome the Minister and his officials and thank them for their service to the State and for attending when requested. It is very much appreciated by committee members. Can we be reminded of IBEC's submission to the Committee on Budgetary Oversight concerning €800 million? I am not being antagonistic, but the Minister asked what expert groups had recommended....
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Summer Economic Statement: Discussion (11 Jul 2018)
John Lahart: I stand corrected. I thank the Chair. That question is then null and void. As the Minister will be aware, the committee does not take a view on the issue of equalisation between diesel and petrol. We heard recently from representatives of the Irish Road Haulage Association and the Minister will have received representations from the association as well. It was a very interesting...
