Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Meetings (3 Jun 2021)

Neale Richmond: I will use this opportunity to pivot to discussions on transatlantic trade opportunities, given that was the main focus, and the opportunity to have the US trade representative contribute via videoconference. All these things present great opportunities for the European Union as a whole. The Tánaiste talks understandably about the logjams in respect of the steel sector and aviation....

National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Statements (2 Jun 2021)

Neale Richmond: I appreciate the opportunity to contribute briefly to this very important debate, nominally about the national recovery and resilience plan. We know from the Minister's remarks that it also includes the national economic plan, the various measures announced yesterday, the measures that have been announced throughout the pandemic and a few early pitches ahead of the budgetary cycle.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Jun 2021)

Neale Richmond: I thank our guests. For their sake, we should explain that LMFM is easily the most important radio station to Deputy Ó Murchú and many others in Dundalk.

I want to push on with some of the points he made and some of the answers that have been given. I thank...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Remuneration of Senior Civil Servants: Discussion (2 Jun 2021)

Neale Richmond: I thank Mr. Fraser for participating in this meeting and for his remarks so far. I wish to pick up on a point he made in his closing remarks to Deputy Farrell's questions.

What defines that improvement? Is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Remuneration of Senior Civil Servants: Discussion (2 Jun 2021)

Neale Richmond: How to define "economic improvement" would be open to interpretation. While it was a meaningful and welcome gesture, who knows for how long it will continue? I wish to follow up on a response that Mr. Fraser gave to Deputy Stanley. Mr. Fraser stated that he did not believe there would be a knock-on effect, but surely the precedent has already been set so that, in the appointment of any...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Remuneration of Senior Civil Servants: Discussion (2 Jun 2021)

Neale Richmond: I am struck by the use of the term "amazed". This is not reflection on Mr. Fraser or any of his colleagues. As he rightly stated, the original allocation of salary, which has been policy for quite some time, is meant to attract people from outside the Civil Service who might be the most suitable. While we all recognise that the Department of Health is a special case, surely Mr. Fraser's...
