Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Estimates for Public Services 2016
Vote 32 - Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation (Supplementary) (1 Dec 2016)

Tom Neville: I thank the Minister and Minister of State for coming in today. I welcome some of the figures we have in front of us. We can see the further investment transferring onto the ground, so to speak, with the number of job announcements that have been made over recent months, especially in my county of Limerick. There have been quite a number of job announcements and I will continue to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Tom Neville: I am grateful you facilitated my attendance today, Chairman, given that I am not a member of the committee. I represent County Limerick and a number of patronage shareholders have contacted me as well as Senator O'Donnell. Obviously, as Kerry is a bordering constituency there would be some overlap. I am here to articulate the concerns of farmers in rural Ireland who have been hit out of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Tom Neville: Chairman, I wish to make a proposal. If it is the case that we cannot get a straight answer to that, and I mean no disrespect to Mr. Phelan as he cannot answer the question, then that body should appear before the committee as well as the Revenue Commissioners to answer our questions. We have joined-up questions that are relevant to two different bodies to which we need immediate answers....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Tom Neville: The Deputy mentioned 1% of shares. I would like clarity on how the value of the shares was calculated. Has a discount factor been applied because of the lack of market value for the shares as they were traded on the grey market? Kerry's board had to approve the sale. If all the shares were on the open market at the same time, the value of the share would probably drop because there would...

Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (14 Dec 2016)

Tom Neville: I welcome the discussion of the Bill. It has raised an emotive debate. We have heard a number of speakers and views. No one here wants to impede Irish music or Irish produced music. The question is and the crux of the Bill is around the definition. Obviously, technology has changed music - that is a no-brainer - during the past ten or 15 years in the sense of the way music is...

Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (14 Dec 2016)

Tom Neville: Sorry, I never interrupted the Deputies, so I would appreciate it if they allowed me to speak.

Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (14 Dec 2016)

Tom Neville: Genres such as techno were mentioned. Many Irish producers are working on techno and hip-hop. These types of music are played by many Irish artists on radio stations. I know this because I listen to these genres. As part of my masters degree I teased out the distinction between producer, DJ and composer and where the boundaries blur when it comes to composition and playing music. How...

I am very aware of the sensitivity around any organisations...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Economic Impact of Brexit: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Dec 2016)

Tom Neville: I have one follow-up question. I do not know if the Minister can share it with us, but is there any timeline in the pipeline in regard to any organisation that may be thinking of moving from another jurisdiction or is this still at an initial phase, in particular around Brexit?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Economic Impact of Brexit: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Dec 2016)

Tom Neville: Yes. I am cognisant that the meeting is in public session. I do not want to take away from the challenges that have been highlighted but every country has infrastructural challenges. I want this committee to convey the message that we are open for business and would welcome foreign direct investors. We must compete with other jurisdictions for investors. We have seen this over the past...

Topical Issue Debate: Workplace Discrimination (17 Jan 2017)

Tom Neville: This matter arises from a discussion on Wired FM in Limerick last year. A number of volunteers came together to run a radio show for the over-55s. We often debate health issues concerning the elderly, which is both warranted and welcome. The other side, however, concerns the employment of healthy elderly people and how they can contribute more to the economy and society in general. I...

Topical Issue Debate: Workplace Discrimination (17 Jan 2017)

Tom Neville: I thank the Minister for her reply. In my opinion, there needs to be a cultural shift in respect of employing senior citizens, including those with experience who have been obliged to leave the workforce. Sometimes contracts are not renewed at the age of 65 years and pensions do not start until age 66; therefore, what can people do for that year? We should promote a positive perception and...
