- Other Questions: Waste Disposal (25 Apr 2018)

- Other Questions: Waste Disposal (25 Apr 2018)
John Lahart: This question was prompted as a result of a recent article in a Sunday newspaper. There is always the possibility of illegal dumping as a result of a lack of capacity. Is the Minister satisfied the capacity is there to deal with the problem, particularly with the ambitious plans that the Government has in the context of Project Ireland 2040 in the Dublin area, for example? An amount of...

John Lahart: Lovely.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Proposed MetroLink: Discussion (25 Apr 2018)

Heritage is mentioned very briefly, but they envisaged no impact on the local community in part 6 of this...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Proposed MetroLink: Discussion (25 Apr 2018)
John Lahart: I do not want to let the opportunity go by without reiterating what my colleagues have said. I welcome this project. I know the NTA and the TII want to deliver it. I have queries about its southern link, given that I represent a constituency that basically has been abandoned from the perspective of modern infrastructure. That is an argument for another day. It was mentioned in the...
