Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Knowledge Development Box (Certification of Inventions) Bill 2016: Committee Stage (9 Mar 2017)

Tom Neville: To follow on from what Deputy Rock said, the increase in new products will hopefully have a spin-off effect in terms of an increase in manufacturing. If a new product works well and one has done one's due diligence, one starts manufacturing it and one goes from there. I agree with the Minister of State on this. Much of the language used in the amendments is vague. There is a proposal to...

Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Estimates for Public Services 2017
Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (8 Mar 2017)

Tom Neville: I welcome the 16% increase in funding for this budget. Funding should continue to increase on the back of improving economic circumstances and decreasing unemployment. I echo many of the questions asked by Deputy Lisa Chambers. On administration non-pay versus the ECCE preschool programme, will the Minister flesh out the reasons for the 31% increase in the allocation for non-pay...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: General Scheme of Childcare (Amendment) Bill 2017: Discussion (8 Mar 2017)

Tom Neville: For a new member like myself, cases such as the Grave case have happened in my lifetime and are very recent, and that has hit it home to me. Not to take away from the other subject which has arisen, which was before my time, for me and for my generation it beggars belief that this took place in our lifetime. Could the witnesses flesh out in more detail why they would prefer an independent...

Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (7 Mar 2017)

Tom Neville: I thank the Minister of State. I do not question her commitment to this issue. One of the big developments she has progressed is the 300 hours of mental health classes to help students maintain their well-being in the post-primary school sector. That is very welcome in terms of prevention and helping people as early as possible. However, I must highlight my frustration and that of the...

Topical Issue Debate: Mental Health Services (7 Mar 2017)

Tom Neville: I wish to raise the issue of delays and waiting lists associated with child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS, in Limerick and the mid-west. CAMHS are consultant-led, community-based services provided by six multidisciplinary teams in Limerick city and county. The city and county services cover an age group from zero to 18. Those in Clare cover zero to 18 and north Tipperary...

Insurance Industry: Motion [Private Members] (1 Mar 2017)

Tom Neville: I too welcome the fact this issue has been raised. In my inaugural speech I said it was the issue raised with me by people on the doorsteps. It was highlighted for me when, as a returning emigrant, I was hit with the news that I no longer had a no claims bonus. I welcome what the Minister of State, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, has done in recent months regarding the generation of the report,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (22 Feb 2017)

Tom Neville: The witnesses spoke of children and teenagers not feeling good enough, the pressures they face, including the barrage of images and the use of various filters and so forth. 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 would like to join in the comments made by the previous speakers, which I will not repeat. My questions follow on from the question of the retention of files raised by Deputy Ó Laoghaire, particularly where there is no evidence to support an allegation. Are those files retained or left open? What happens to them? Are they stored somewhere? Can Mr. McBride give us an update on...
