- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Macroeconomic Outlook: IBEC (8 Feb 2017)
John Lahart: I thank the Chairman and ask the witnesses to forgive me absence. I was attending another committee meeting. I read the documentation circulated by IBEC and I will focus on two or three areas. I have been interested in apprenticeships for some time.

- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Macroeconomic Outlook: IBEC (8 Feb 2017)
John Lahart: I am sorry to interrupt Mr. O'Brien but the biggest challenge right now - it was in the newspapers recently - is health and travel insurance for international students who come here. Instead of costing a token €100 per year, they want international students to take out the same kind of private health insurance that any of us would have. This is despite the fact that, in most cases,...

Were either of the companies approached by Irish Water or any of the semi-States connected with it in advance of Irish Water's roll-out to seek...
