Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Implementation of Sláintecare: Discussion (6 Oct 2021)

John Lahart: I thank the Minister and the Secretary General. Context is everything. I have always tried to be non-partisan on this and I will continue in that vein. In a non-partisan way, there are two or three issues that strike me about this. First, the Minister is just a year and a half in the job, so much of the narrative around Sláintecare would have preceded his time in office. Second, Mr....

John Lahart: As far as I am concerned, the Minister has left few questions to be asked. The fact that a number of us submitted questions gave her ample time to give us that answer.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Arts Policy (5 Oct 2021)

John Lahart: The thought that comes to mind is that Fianna Fáil has a proud tradition in this area, of which the Minister will be aware.

The Minister now has a heavy burden on her shoulders. I do not think...

It concerns the basic income guarantee...
