Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Engagement on the Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement: Mr. David O'Sullivan (30 Mar 2021)

Neale Richmond: I thank Mr. O'Sullivan for his detailed paper and opening remarks. As Deputy Howlin said, concerns are being raised in our offices. There seems to be a belief that we do not need to ratify this final part of the agreement and that we can somehow pause it indefinitely. What are Mr. O'Sullivan's thoughts on that and whether that is an accurate summation? Is it a bit misleading? There...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Engagement on the Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement: Mr. David O'Sullivan (30 Mar 2021)

Neale Richmond: I have a slightly broader question because we have drilled into minutiae and all that. Mr. O'Sullivan mentioned earlier that, overall, he believes in the round that this is extremely positive for the EU, Ireland and Canada. Can he quantify? People often talk about the cost of Brexit per British citizen or the cost per Irish citizen. Is it feasible to quantify the potential gain in the...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Revised) (30 Mar 2021)

Neale Richmond: There has, rightly, been a lot of discussion about flooding. Those of us living in Dublin-Rathdown are extremely grateful to the OPW, working in partnership with the local authority, for the remediation works on the Slang and Dodder rivers. It made a huge difference to the local community. I want to move to my hobby horse, namely, the post-Brexit situation and the need for continued...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (25 Mar 2021)

Neale Richmond: I greatly appreciate the opportunity to raise this issue. Next week the Government, on foot of NPHET recommendations, will make some very serious decisions.

Family Leave and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (24 Mar 2021)

Neale Richmond: I support this Bill. I am delighted to see it on the agenda and I give full credit to the Minister for bringing it forward. It is an ambitious and modernising Bill which addresses many of our societal failings as a country. It is only right that Part 2 rights so many of the wrongs done to adoptive parents. I will, however, raise some concerns, but before I do so, I welcome the elements in...
