BusConnects: Motion [Private Members] (19 Sep 2018)

John Lahart: Earlier in the summer, the NTA and the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, announced the most radical transformation in the history of the State for public transport in Dublin. However, the Minister is not here now. That says it all. Need I say any more? On this side of the House, we recognise there are eight aspects to BusConnects. We wholeheartedly support seven...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (5 Sep 2018)

John Lahart: I will not use all of the time. I thank Ms Justice Laffoy for her public service and her work in that regard with the Citizens' Assembly. From radio interviews I heard in recent months some members of the assembly spoke very highly of the manner in which the Citizens' Assembly was structured. I have one basic question. In her opening remarks Ms Justice Laffoy stated how it was implicit...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: MetroLink Project: Discussion (18 Jul 2018)

John Lahart: I attended one of the meetings on behalf of Deputy O'Callaghan where the witnesses views were made known pretty emphatically. Mr. Murphy in particular made some points and I have done some research, so I want to focus on some points that might be more parochial. There are a number of fundamental points I want to make which play into the argument. One is about communication and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: MetroLink Project: Discussion (18 Jul 2018)

John Lahart: The Chairman has defended him stoutly. I would expect nothing less. Another fundamental point, which I have made before and I will make to the NTA, is that investment in public transport must be democratic. In my constituency, the Luas red line serves Tallaght and there is a massive gap between that and the Luas green line. The demographics relating to Cherrywood, which Mr. Murphy pointed...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: National Transport Authority (18 Jul 2018)

John Lahart: The last sentence of the Senator is worth repeating as it might have got lost. It was about Dublin Bus providing training.

John Lahart: I will address a number of issues. Do I have five minutes?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: National Transport Authority (18 Jul 2018)

John Lahart: I have a number of points to make. The CEO needs to consider television and radio advertisements, if the issue has not already been considered. It is big. Dublin Bus has stated it conducted a review in 2011 that was almost equally as big. It is the second major review in a decade, but it is significant. I reinforce all of the points made by Senator John Dolan. I am pleased he got...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: National Transport Authority (18 Jul 2018)

John Lahart: This meeting is not about the matter I am about to raise but I will take the opportunity to tease it out a little. I have made the point about the livery, which caused a few chuckles. Perhaps people did not grasp the point completely. It was not about the colours - although the colours of the Dublin Bus livery, as Senator Dolan will know, are pretty significant - there was a great deal of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: National Transport Authority (18 Jul 2018)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: National Transport Authority (18 Jul 2018)

John Lahart: I will conclude in a moment. I thank the Vice Chairman for the latitude. The NTA needs to recognise - I am sure it does - that there is a huge amount of sentiment in Dublin towards Dublin Bus. That is where the colour scheme came in. It was thought that the buses ought to remain identifiable regardless of what colours Dublin Bus chose to use. It is in the interest of consumers and of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: BusConnects: National Transport Authority (18 Jul 2018)

John Lahart: It is important to clarify this. The submission we received says that the plethora of local services suggested in this plan will use 40 new 28-seat single-decker buses, a big reduction on the current double-decker fleet.
