John Lahart: ...bus corridors and boxes are not policed and, if they were, it would encourage people to switch from cars to buses and would grow confidence in bus corridors. That does not have to be done by An Garda Síochána. That is under different jurisdiction in other countries and that could be looked at as an option. This is where the Minister lets us down. I do not think he loses sleep...

The Minister describes this reasonable question as immature and argues that it could...

Dublin Traffic: Motion [Private Members] (20 Feb 2018)

John Lahart: ...and Local Government who has authority over the four Dublin local authorities that have a role in this matter. It reflects on the Minister for Justice and Equality who has responsibility for An Garda Síochána including the traffic corps, which has been overlooked in the present debacle and for which no role has been found.

John Lahart: ...premises owners which has had cause to bring the entire licensed trade business into disrepute. That is unfortunate. I think of my own constituency, for example. I would have liaised with the Garda superintendent in my constituency over the period of the closures and when the food pubs were allowed to open. There are 40 to 45 licensed premises in my constituency. There were three...

John Lahart: ...that the track record in previous years regarding the management of some of the colleges, and some of the so-called colleges, left a lot to be desired. At some stages it involved raids by various units of the Garda to check whether they were gold plate or silver plate businesses. There seems to be a significant degree of evidence now to suggest that many of those colleges have upped...

John Lahart: ...or Saturday night in the city one cannot get a Luas and is utterly dependent on taxis. Lately, I have become concerned about a particular mentality.

No...

Financial Resolutions 2019 - Financial Resolution No. 4: General (Resumed) (13 Nov 2018)

John Lahart: ...on the M50 last year. I live beside it and know when there has been an accident because the road goes quiet and within four minutes one hears a battery of sirens as fire brigades, ambulances and Garda cars arrive. The gantry signs are important to reduce speed limits and calm traffic at peak times, thereby reducing the possibility of collisions occurring. The slightest collision on the...

Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (4 Mar 2021)

John Lahart: ...has never had this previously. I came away from the meeting with great enthusiasm about that aspect. People who earn up to €42,000 per annum can qualify for social housing. However, the stereotypical bank official, nurse, garda, teacher, technician or plumber earns between €45,000 and €80,000 per annum. These people do not qualify for social housing and they are...
