Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

John Lahart: Mr. Gloster might provide a note on this. I do not need an answer now. The HSE has kept the old Rathfarnham health centre open and I do not understand why, given we have a brand spanking new primary care centre less than a mile away from it.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: HSE National Service Plan 2023: Discussion (24 May 2023)

John Lahart: The following was one of the things I was proud of last year in the budget. Unions came up with it and persuaded the Department of Education to look at it. The INTO had four asks, one of them around well-being. It was significant the Minister, Deputy Foley, took it on. In my experience, this is the first time a well-being piece was not located exclusively in the Department of Health....

John Lahart: Taking up that theme, I wonder that if the Government were to communicate with-----

Accommodation Needs for New Arrivals: Statements (23 May 2023)

John Lahart: Does Deputy Cowen want a few minutes? I am sharing my time, in that case.

Accommodation Needs for New Arrivals: Statements (23 May 2023)

John Lahart: I would ask the following of the Deputies opposite. If information were given to them, would they communicate it to their communities? Would they communicate the State's requirements of different communities in respect of the whole issue of refugees and asylum seekers? Would they drive that message home in order to accommodate the asylum seekers and refugees? It can be tedious...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Commemorative Events (18 May 2023)

John Lahart: I am heartened to know that a constituency colleague has an equal interest in this. The Deputy has probably more access to the Minister than I would have. Those were fairly comprehensive responses, particularly in relation to the commemorative plague. The Minister will agree 15 years is a long time to wait but I am grateful that she, as Minister, has ensured that it is finally happening....

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Sports Funding (18 May 2023)

John Lahart: I thank the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach for the opportunity to come in and the Minister of State, Deputy Byrne, for his response. Clubs in our constituencies applied for the latest round of funding and received the maximum, €150,000, or a little less. Due to building and construction cost inflation, that €150,000 will cover substantially less work than it would have when they...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Commemorative Events (18 May 2023)

John Lahart: I thank the Minister for taking my question. I tabled this question in February and it might have done a tour of Departments before it landed on the Minister's desk so I am grateful to her for taking it today. It relates to a commemorative date plaque of the first famine commemoration, which was held, not in Skibereen in 2009, but at the Custom House in Dublin, appropriately, in 2008.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Commemorative Events (18 May 2023)

John Lahart: I am grateful. I presume the impetus for that came from the Minister. It is 15 years later. Key figures from NGOs and other organisations are often involved. A constituent of mine, Mr. Michael Blanch, has been a strong advocate of famine commemoration. He will be delighted to hear that the plaque will finally be placed in the Custom House. A plaque is installed to mark the site of the...
