Topical Issue Debate: Disabled Drivers Permits (9 Mar 2017)

John Lahart: I am grateful my topic was selected. I am not carrying a battering ram but actually ringing the doorbell to see if we can open a proper conversation on it. I want to see if there is any movement that can genuinely make a difference to the lives of some people, particularly older people, affected by this issue.

Topical Issue Debate: Disabled Drivers Permits (9 Mar 2017)

John Lahart: I thank the Minister for his reply. I initially said I was not coming with a battering ram precisely for the reasons the Minister has laid out, namely, that it is important to keep such schemes reasonably strict and confined so as not to have all and sundry seeking a disc or the scheme abused. While it was relatively liberal, there seems to have been a complete clawback. What it does is...

Other Questions: Ambulance Service (8 Mar 2017)

John Lahart: The Minister did not say whether he will intervene. What is unusual about this proposed strike is that it is not over pay or conditions.

John Lahart: I thank the delegates for their fascinating presentation. The slides helped. I have three questions, although the delegates have answered one of them. There is a likelihood that the State will sell 25% of AIB in the short term and the understanding is the proceeds of any sale of bank stock would go towards reducing debt.
