Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Jun 2019)

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Jun 2019)

Neale Richmond: In the context of what we asked Dr. Cassidy and his colleagues to discuss and the work we are trying to do as a committee in respect of preparedness and providing solutions, Senator Craughwell has meandered on that point. As relevant as it is to the overall economic look, perhaps the specifics might drift a little.

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Jun 2019)

Neale Richmond: I do not mean it in a flippant manner. Dr. Cassidy covered a wide variety of issues within the general remit of the Central Bank and beyond. We are extremely appreciative of his appearance and ongoing work in the past few years. It has been a difficult few years leading into perhaps even more difficult years. Our gratitude to everyone in the Central Bank is heartfelt. The conclusions our...

Neale Richmond: From IBEC I welcome Dr. Pat Ivory, director of EU and international affairs, and Mr. Arnold Dillon, head of strategic campaigns. I also welcome Mr. Neil McDonnell, chief executive of ISME. We heard from both organisations in our first round of meetings more than two years ago. We have just had a lengthy session with the Central Bank of Ireland and would like to hear about what IBEC and...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (19 Jun 2019)

Neale Richmond: I would like to raise a few points, and one of them builds slightly on what Senator Craughwell said. The first relates to the international context. IBEC is a member of Business Europe. We have hosted its counterparts many times when they have come here to discuss this issue. Leaving aside the Confederation of British Industry, CBI, I ask the witnesses to comment on the degree to which...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Alliance Building to Strengthen the European Union (Resumed): Institute of International and European Affairs (12 Jun 2019)

Neale Richmond: I thank both speakers for the contributions, particularly for the copy of the emerging voices anthology. I happen to know a couple of the authors but I look forward to reading the contributions of all the authors, most of whom are relatively active on Twitter. There are a number of areas that I wish to touch on based on the remarks of the speakers and other remarks we have heard in this...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Alliance Building to Strengthen the European Union (Resumed): Institute of International and European Affairs (12 Jun 2019)

Neale Richmond: I thank Mr. Keohane as usually I am the one who is accused of depressing people when describing future relationships. He has outlined a number of very clear challenges in a stark and welcome way. It feeds into much of the work we are doing. What policy should we be initiating or where is the scope to initiate particular policies? The term "investing in relations" is great. One of the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (11 Jun 2019)

Neale Richmond: This past weekend I had the privilege and pleasure to attend the Union Cup, Europe's largest LGBT-inclusive rugby tournament. It took place at DCU and attracted nearly 50 men's and women's teams from 15 European countries.It was hosted by the Emerald Warriors and was a fantastic occasion. It did great credit to the voluntary committee which put it on and I acknowledge the support it...

Working Group of Committee Chairmen: Public Policy Matters: Discussion (30 May 2019)

Neale Richmond: I have two questions. I have literally just come from a flight from London so the Taoiseach can guess how topical they will be. We are about to reopen our public hearings based on the report we published in June 2017. My first question relates to the Brexit preparedness that has been undertaken, not necessarily from the legislative side of things, because the Brexit omnibus Bill has gone...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 May 2019)

Neale Richmond: This Saturday the people of Australia go to the polls in a hotly anticipated general election, but it is on a sad note that they do so, knowing that the former Prime Minister, Bob Hawke passed away earlier this morning. As a very young child, following politics, I would have admired him, not least for his abilities in cricket and a couple of beers as well. It brings a focus to a wider...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Citizenship Rights (8 May 2019)

Neale Richmond: I remind Senators to ensure their mobile phones are switched off. This important because the use of such devices can cause serious problems for broadcasting, editorial and sound staff. As there is no 4G in this room, mobile phones are no use to us in any event. I welcome Mr. Les Allamby, who is the chief commissioner of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission; Professor Colin Harvey...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Citizenship Rights (8 May 2019)

Neale Richmond: I thank Mr. Allamby. I would like to note that Ms Emily Logan was invited, but unfortunately was not able to be here in person. She has sent us quite a lengthy piece of correspondence which has been distributed to members and will be included in the record and the work of the committee going forward. I propose to take the witnesses' statements together. I will then open the debate up to...
