- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Transport Infrastructure Provision (12 Nov 2020)
John Lahart: I thank the Minister. I acknowledge that I am pushing an open door. The directly-elected mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham, introduced and appointed a cycling commissioner, Chris Boardman, the first UK Olympian to win a medal for cycling, which he did at the Barcelona Olympics. The Minister could do worse than to consider the appointment of a micromobility commissioner for Dublin. Such a...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Transport Infrastructure Provision (12 Nov 2020)

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Library Services (5 Nov 2020)
John Lahart: I thank the Minister for that and I hear her openness to my suggestions. I think we can see the sense in this, as she said, given the low risk and somehow analysing it.
