Tom Neville: I am also a rural Deputy. Deputy Danny Healy-Rae has mentioned much of what is happening in his part of County Kerry.

Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage (10 Jul 2018)

Tom Neville: I share people's frustration at the cost of car insurance. I was an immigrant who came back, but I was walloped for not having a no claims bonus. That is how I got into this issue.

I have been working behind...

Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage (10 Jul 2018)

Given that these cars have been tested under the NCT procedure, I cannot see any reason they should not be on the road.

Tom Neville: The HSE told me it would provide me with these figures but it was unable to give me them immediately because of the way the systems are built and bolted together. That is a financial back end system. When a business or, as in this case, the Government is administering money to an organisation, it wants to know where this money is spent. I asked for top-line figures, not nitty-gritty...
