John Lahart: In his capacity as Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy McConalogue visited the Glenasmole Valley in my constituency last year to highlight quite rightly the threat that out-of-control dogs can pose to livestock.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)

John Lahart: Our witnesses are getting caught in the time trap that we all are subject to. We often do not appreciate their full meaning until they are in full flow. I thank them for all their contributions, some of which I watched online earlier. I have a question for the Irish College of General Practitioners. How many members are there?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)

John Lahart: Thank you for undertaking it but fewer than 100 participated in it. The age cohort of those was over 40 and predominantly rural. I do not know how to interpret that. However, like any poll, it was a useful snapshot of how GPs feel. One of the points mentioned in the feedback was GPs reporting that patient wishes were overruled by family members or ignored by hospitals. Could we have even...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion (28 Nov 2023)

John Lahart: We could have a very long conversation just about that piece, about a patient's wishes and a family overruling it, possibly, and a GP going with a course of action based on what, I wonder. I do really wonder about the knowledge of the wider family, given the interaction time GPs have with people. It is not particularly long. I have also experienced GP interaction in my own family in those...

John Lahart: It is close to midnight, and I very much appreciate the Minister of State coming to the House to take this question of behalf of the Government. As the Minister of State will probably be aware from his own constituency, continuous changes as part of the BusConnects project and changes in bus schedules continue to be rolled out by the NTA. Some of them have rolled out in my constituency. I...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Bus Services (28 Nov 2023)

John Lahart: I thank the Minister of State. I would be very grateful if he could go back to the Minister, Deputy Ryan, to tell him this. I say this particularly in the light of one of the points the Minister of State made regarding what the Government has been doing with fares to encourage people to abandon their cars and use public transport. I refer particularly to young people. One of the comments...
