Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Developments in the Insurance Industry: Discussion (19 May 2021)

Neale Richmond: I thank the witnesses and appreciate their time. There are many areas and colleagues will cover other issues so I will keep my questions quite specific. My question is for Mr. O'Midheach from FBD on something he referred to quite extensively in his opening remarks that I want to tease out, namely business continuity insurance. I have three questions.

Neale Richmond: Does Mr. O'Midheach not appreciate these businesses have been closed and they are struggling immensely? The costs saved by FBD by the test cases, rather than multiple cases, means it is in the company's interest as well as the businesses involved to have the issue of costs resolved as soon as possible.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Ireland and the EU 2021 Poll Results: Discussion (19 May 2021)

Neale Richmond: I thank Ms O'Connell for her presentation and for carrying out this research. I have a few questions that will build on what Deputy Haughey raised.

Recent Cyberattack and its Impact on the Health System: Statements (18 May 2021)

Neale Richmond: Before I begin, I am very lucky to have known the Minister of State, Deputy Smyth, for quite some time.

My questions follow on from some of...

Ballymurphy Inquest: Statements (18 May 2021)

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Special Educational Needs (18 May 2021)

When there is early diagnosis and early intervention, children are not getting the supports they need to allow them to...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Special Educational Needs (18 May 2021)

Neale Richmond: Much of what I have to say is complementary to what Deputy Costello said but comes at it from a slightly different angle. The main issue I have to raise is access and inclusion model, AIM, staff for children with ASD in early years education at the very start of their national school education. For a Montessori school to take on a child with ASD, it requires AIM staff who have further...
