Youth Mental Health: Statements (26 Jan 2022)

Neale Richmond: I greatly appreciate the opportunity to speak, albeit briefly, in this extremely important debate. There are many areas from which one could approach this debate but there is only one I will raise. Following my colleague Deputy Higgins, I will speak to eating disorders, which predominantly affect women and young people. The average age for the onset of anorexia is 16 and for bulimia is 18....

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (26 Jan 2022)

Neale Richmond: I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this very important and timely discussion. I am grateful to the Taoiseach for his update following the Council meeting held prior to Christmas. While much has changed, much has not. There are only three areas I want to focus on this afternoon. One could focus on 300 areas if one really wanted to. First is the extremely worrying situation on the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Special EU Programmes Body: Engagement with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (26 Jan 2022)

Neale Richmond: I will start with less of a question and more of a comment. To follow on Vice Chairman’s final question, much engagement and overlap with the shared island unit would be something very beneficial and we should look at the potential that it offers in great detail. Certainly, from a Dublin point of view, it is something that should be pushed through. I have slightly more specific...

Vote 10 - Tax Appeals Commission (Revised) (26 Jan 2022)

Neale Richmond: I have a couple of brief questions on Vote 9, which deals with the Revenue Commissioners, and a few related ones. They are all related to Brexit and the change in the roles of the Revenue Commissioners and general customs operations since the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement came into place and the transition period ended. Will the Minister put a little more flesh on the figures - the...

Vote 9 - Office of the Revenue Commissioners (Revised)
Vote 10 - Tax Appeals Commission (Revised) (26 Jan 2022)

Neale Richmond: Has any thought been given to the fact that going forward, there may be a benefit to posting staff either from the Revenue Commissioners or the Department more widely, for example, to the Irish Embassy in London, as is done by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and various other Departments and the permanent representative to...

Vote 8 - Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General (Revised)
Vote 9 - Office of the Revenue Commissioners (Revised)
Vote 10 - Tax Appeals Commission (Revised) (26 Jan 2022)

Neale Richmond: Given that the Minister no longer meets the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for example, as regularly as he would have when the UK was part of the European Union, on an informal basis outside Council meetings or at various other opportunities, there is a need to fill that gap, both from a political point of view as well as an administrative point of view to ensure that engagement on an official...

Ministerial Rota for Parliamentary Questions: Motion: Northern Ireland (25 Jan 2022)

Neale Richmond: I thank the Taoiseach for that update and for the report sent to our offices. I was struck by the remarks of the Taoiseach at the engagement in December and by the pertinent remarks made by Patrick Kielty that went viral. We must be honest about the shared island initiative and unit having great potential but that, due to the impact of Covid-19 or a need for a wider buy-in, it may perhaps...

Neale Richmond: Over recent years, tens of thousands of individuals have filled key roles in our society working in hospitality, healthcare, logistics and much beyond.
