John Lahart: I thank the witnesses. The original cost was €910 million. The board has paid out €818 million, which represents approximately 89% of the total overall cost, and the building is 89% complete. That €910 million was not intended to include inflationary costs, which, if I am correct in saying so, amounted to €50 million.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (12 Jul 2023)
John Lahart: Were there any additional unforeseen costs claimed above the €910 million, aside from those inflation-related costs?

John Lahart: What do they amount to?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on New National Children’s Hospital: National Paediatric Hospital Development Board (12 Jul 2023)
John Lahart: On the €910 million, the additional costs come to around €50 million.

John Lahart: Everybody here seems to be saying that we do not want to come down on any side vis-à-visthe board and BAM. Without meaning to belittle the situation, for context, it seems to me that if a contractor was working on a school or a house and there were questions about a low rate of productivity, progress reports not being provided for the four most recent months, insufficient resources...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Developing a Legal Framework for Assisted Dying: Discussion (11 Jul 2023)
John Lahart: As usual, there will not be enough time. It is fascinating. I thank our three contributors. I will start where Professor Madden finished. That is something I will have to take away. I am a member of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health, and paragraph 3 of Professor Madden's statement reads: "As clinicians, doctors have no unique competence in the resolution of ethical issues -...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Developing a Legal Framework for Assisted Dying: Discussion (11 Jul 2023)
John Lahart: I do not mean to pin Professor Jones into a corner, but from his own life experience - forget everything else - does he think there are absolutely no circumstances in which an intervention along those lines is appropriate?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Developing a Legal Framework for Assisted Dying: Discussion (11 Jul 2023)
John Lahart: On the advanced declarations, I am very interested in the three contributions here, and they have been very valuable again with regard to taking them away. The capacity piece is something we are going to have to go into a little bit more. The waiving of consent is, again, a tricky area. I will go back to Professor Jones. He says that if the numbers go up, the categories expand and...

John Lahart: What numbers have gone up?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Developing a Legal Framework for Assisted Dying: Discussion (11 Jul 2023)
John Lahart: From 1,000 to 10,000 when?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Developing a Legal Framework for Assisted Dying: Discussion (11 Jul 2023)
John Lahart: Could Professor Jones expand on "categories"?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Developing a Legal Framework for Assisted Dying: Discussion (11 Jul 2023)
John Lahart: That would be helpful, I thank Professor Jones. I find it hard, as a human being. I am not pressing Professor Jones, as I accept his bona fides. However, I find it hard to encounter someone who has never seen a situation where they have not been moved to think that there has to be a better way than this, because this is a terrible existence for a human being, whether it is in terms of the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Developing a Legal Framework for Assisted Dying: Discussion (11 Jul 2023)
John Lahart: I will ask a few questions and I will leave it to the three witnesses to answer. One of the witnesses referred to those who might feel pressured to use assisted dying as an option. Can Professor Donnelly or Professor Madden give an example of what that pressure might look like and where it might come from? Have we any anecdotal or hard evidence in that regard? What does an advance...
