EU-UK Negotiations on Brexit: Statements (24 Sep 2020)

Neale Richmond: Let me finish. Deputy Conway-Walsh may have been talking specifically about the current British Government. I accept that but we have to remember that not every single person in the UK necessarily holds the same opinions as Boris Johnson or Dominic Cummings.

Community Safety and Fireworks: Motion [Private Members] (22 Sep 2020)

Neale Richmond: I sincerely commend Deputy Ward on this motion. There is a lot of agreement on its provisions across the House but not total agreement, which is why I will be supporting the Government amendment.
