Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Banded Hours Contract Bill 2016: Discussion (Resumed). (14 Feb 2017)

Tom Neville: It must be stated at the outset that no one wants to see workers exploited, but no one wants to see anyone going out of business either. Therefore, it is always a balancing act. Perhaps I have missed them, but would it be possible to be furnished with statistics on low income and low hours and high income and low hours? I have worked in retail and in bars and restaurants. I have also...

This very much mirrors what happens in the adult world where this problem is also prevalent. Much of the behaviour described could be learned from adults. There is a bigger and wider debate involved in this issue to the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Governance and Control Procedures in Tusla - Child and Family Agency: Discussion (22 Feb 2017)

Tom Neville: I have a second question relating to a false accusation. Mr. Quinlan said that Tusla initially creates a file. There is a vetting process and it moves to the next stage. When Tusla is vetting those files at the initial stage, obviously it is vetting them in regard to risk or immediate risk to a child, which I totally get.
