- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Core Bus Corridor Proposals: Discussion (20 Jun 2018)
John Lahart: It has been an interesting conversation. I thank Ms Graham and Mr. Creegan for their attendance and public service. Ms Graham made the point regarding Luas cross city that when College Green did not come into play, the NTA was forced to make changes. That is not really the case because it would have known of that months in advance of the opening of Luas cross city. The chaos caused by...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Core Bus Corridor Proposals: Discussion (20 Jun 2018)
John Lahart: That may be so, but buses were the casualties. Some routes were amended, such as the No. 15 which I use. It was redirected from College Green in advance of Luas cross city to facilitate that project. However, it was not restored to its original route and the closest stop to the Oireachtas, for example, for a person travelling on the bus from Knocklyon or Templeogue is College Green or the...

John Lahart: I appreciate that. I am happy to get written answers to those questions. The witnesses do not have to respond verbally. A major issue for Ballycullen, Knocklyon and Firhouse is that there is nothing for them in the metro plan under Project Ireland 2040.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Core Bus Corridor Proposals: Discussion (20 Jun 2018)
John Lahart: No, I am not finished. I thought this could be an easy gain for the NTA. Ballycullen is one of the fastest growing areas in my constituency. There are BusConnects corridors proposed for Tallaght to Terenure and for Rathfarnham to Terenure with a huge road width available because there is a park. There is a quality bus corridor, QBC, on Firhouse Road that could very easily connect to the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Core Bus Corridor Proposals: Discussion (20 Jun 2018)

- Dublin Fire Brigade: Motion [Private Members] (19 Jun 2018)
John Lahart: The acceptance of this motion by the Government is welcome. Even since this morning, its willingness has changed, not just in not opposing the motion as amended but in supporting it. This represents a victory for Dublin Fire Brigade and its emergency ambulance service and their supporters. However, the devil is very much in the detail. The Ministers of State have kept saying there is no...

- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Priorities for Budget 2019: Discussion (19 Jun 2018)
John Lahart: Deputy Lisa Chambers asked a number of the questions that I had an interest in and they have been covered. I thank the three organisations for their interesting presentations. None of them mentioned single people with no dependants who make up 25% of the workforce. I am always intrigued by this. It is a significant cohort of the workforce. Such people probably have more demands on them...
