- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (21 Sep 2023)
John Lahart: It is good to see the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, here this morning and firing on all cylinders. As a brief aside, 95 homes have been purchased by South Dublin County Council under the tenant in situscheme, with 133 planned, and I know the Minister would probably like to comment on that. I thank the Ceann Comhairle for allowing me away with this. The previous Government launched the north...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Construction Industry (13 Jul 2023)
John Lahart: Most people engage competent professionals to carry out due diligence in advance of purchasing a home, particularly a new home. The problem is that sometimes, as the Minister of State knows, the issues only come to light after purchase. Somebody can do all the due diligence in the world and the problem only comes to light some time after purchase. I want to acknowledge that while the CIF...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Construction Industry (13 Jul 2023)
John Lahart: I thank the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, for his presence to take this Topical Issue, which I can probably divide into two parts. The first part seeks to open a proper debate regarding the need for a regulatory body for the construction industry.

- Situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Statements (13 Jul 2023)
John Lahart: This is not a debate I was going to contribute on. It is not that I do not feel I have anything to say. It is just that I have heard the same speeches being made again and again over the years. I share the frustration of my colleagues in opposition. I am also very proud of the tradition of my own party. I am also conscious that this week we celebrated the life and passing of a great...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (12 Jul 2023)
John Lahart: I thank the witnesses. I will leave a minute at the end of my contribution to get an update on the Tallaght satellite and how that is progressing. If our witnesses cannot provide that here, they might forward to the committee a note on it. Is there are state-to-state diplomatic element to resolving this? Royal BAM Group has a very good name internationally. We also had a...
