- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Review of the Operation of the Medical Card Scheme: Irish Dental Association (8 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: It seems that this should not be the role of the Irish Dental Association but, rather, that of the HSE. I am sure the witnesses are far too busy in their working lives to have noticed it but we published a report yesterday on vitamin D. The public have been much more aware of that because of Covid and the context of it. I am taken with what the witnesses have said about being taken for...

- Prime Time Investigates Programme on Department of Health: Statements (1 Apr 2021)
John Lahart: I am grateful for the opportunity to speak on the "RTÉ Investigates" programme on this issue. I wish to put on record that the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, is blameless in regard to this matter. It is important to state that. I thank the Minister of State for being here. She has come to this place after only eight months in office. The question for me is how did we get...
- Vaccination Programme and Covid-19: Statements (1 Apr 2021)

- Children (Amendment) Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (31 Mar 2021)
John Lahart: I wish to flag that I do not intend to use anything like the 20 minutes allotted to me. I was in the House when this Bill was introduced by the Minister. It is a short, complex Bill dealing with a complex issue. I listened keenly to Deputy Alan Farrell's contribution and noted how connected he was to the issue. My party colleague, Deputy Jim O'Callaghan, was very alive to the...
