Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)

Joe Neville: I am in north Kildare. A lot of people might use the courts in Dublin, but a courthouse like Naas Courthouse is in an area of growing population and growing demand, as referred to earlier.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (8 Jul 2025)

Joe Neville: I thank Mr. Madouros for clarifying Deputy Guirke's question on bonds. He dealt with it admirably. He did not shy away from answering the question with the knowledge he has.
