- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic: National Public Health Emergency Team (13 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: Some of my constituents live here and may have been working abroad under contract and have been fully vaccinated. I absolutely support hotel quarantine, but I do not get why there is an insistence on it for those who have a house here, are fully vaccinated and quite willing to quarantine at home. As two fully vaccinated people here are allowed to meet, why is there an insistence on...

John Lahart: So two vaccinated people being allowed to meet makes sense because, obviously, they have both been vaccinated.

John Lahart: Okay. I will stop Dr. Glynn there. That was a comprehensive answer. It would be very useful if he could arrange for a brief paper on that issue to be sent to the committee because it is a question that often comes up from constituents. My final question also relates to constituents. GPs have received calls this morning, politicians have received emails and calls in the past 24 hours...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic: National Public Health Emergency Team (13 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: This abundance of caution is something that we are learning about, just as NPHET is. Perhaps NPHET is also going to have to exercise this caution potentially with another vaccine or two as they come along. There is a significant piece of work to be done here. It is about reassuring people. The clear message from Dr. Glynn today seems to imply that a GP could address the concerns on a...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: Perhaps when we have Mr. McCallion back before the committee in a month's time, he will be in a better position to answer that question. I wish to say to the witnesses from NIAC and the HSE that they have nothing to fear in giving us, as politicians, direct answers. I have noticed that there is a little bit of PR creeping into some of the contributions, perhaps unintentionally and...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out: Update (20 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: I accept that. As a member of the Oireachtas committee, I am of the view that we are non-partisan here. We are trying to find the truth of the matter between targets set by politicians and realistic targets. It was mentioned previously that it was hoped that 800,000 vaccines would arrive in April. It is now 20 April. How many vaccines have arrived?
