- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Recent Cost-of-Living Measures: Discussion (11 May 2022)
John Lahart: I thank the Chairman, and I thank the officials for their presentations. I have two questions. They relate to a couple of pieces I was reading about France. In the context of the offsets by the Government, my layman's interpretation is that if you throw money at an economy during an inflationary period in terms of wages and things like that, it just helps to drive up the cost of living if...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Recent Cost-of-Living Measures: Discussion (11 May 2022)

- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Recent Cost-of-Living Measures: Discussion (11 May 2022)
John Lahart: We do not know this but maybe France does not have an energy regulator so that is out of the hands of Government here in this sense, even though most of the energy companies in France are state-owned. The second piece was about being able to look at the top 120 most important staple retail purchases. Again, France is looking at trying to cap the price of these. Clearly, a retailer could...
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Recent Cost-of-Living Measures: Discussion (11 May 2022)
John Lahart: Mr. O'Connor is right. It would be interesting to drill down into this. An Indian friend of mine is one of the hardest-working people I have ever come across. He has worked really hard. He opened an Indian restaurant in Deputy Boyd Barrett's area between Monkstown and Dún Laoghaire. He opened a second restaurant in Sandyford just before the Covid pandemic. He has managed to keep...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (11 May 2022)
John Lahart: I thank the Minister and witnesses. The HSE board got some publicity today. Two voices demurred but there are 12 members of the board. The bottom line is the board has approved this, regardless of why and how many members did so. We have heard the views of Fergus Finlay as to why he supported it, but we did not get the view of the other eight or nine members as to why they supported it....

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (11 May 2022)
John Lahart: This boils down to a few issues, that is, ethos, governance and ownership. It is as if the ethos piece has been forgotten because it seems to have been dealt with successfully. Ethos was a big issue two weeks ago for protagonists and opponents. It seems all the concerns and queries around that have been satisfied. Dr. Peter Boylan will be a witness tomorrow so I have no issue making this...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (11 May 2022)
John Lahart: My time is over but I will make this point, especially to people who are watching. Most of the emails I have had regarding this in the past one to two months, related to the justifiable and legitimate fear of women of church interference, or the interference of a religious ethos, in respect of any procedures they are entitled to under law. We seem to have forgotten that very quickly because...
