- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)
Joe Neville: Can a judicial review be pulled halfway through a process so they do not have to go through it, and it is, therefore, just meddling?
- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)
Joe Neville: Okay. That is interesting in itself. I will change tack and perhaps go back to being slightly parochial. Will Ms Denning clarify if it is 193 judges across the country?
- Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)

- 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. How do we go about getting extra judges to deal with backlogs of cases, and extra buildings if there is a lack of facilities in a place like Naas? I am using Naas only as an example. How can we expand...

Joe Neville: Okay. I will get on to the relevant Minister. He is in PAC tomorrow and I might have a chat with him. We need extra funding there and extra judges. Will it be the Courts Service who will be assigning, not extra judges per se but-----

- 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. He could have dealt with it later and come back to us, but he dealt with it very well. I have some general questions. I have read through the information and been listening for the past while. How does the Central...

Joe Neville: Where does Mr. Madouros see the Central Bank's role and his own role with his team coming before the committee?
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (8 Jul 2025)
Joe Neville: I have found it interesting that the same theme has been playing out in the past few weeks. Last week, we had the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council before the committee and the previous week, the Ministers, Deputies Chambers and Donohoe attended. All of them and the witnesses before us today adopted the same theme. I do not know whether it is a good thing, bad thing or a scary thing. Everyone...

- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (8 Jul 2025)
Joe Neville: Like the way that happened in 2007.
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (8 Jul 2025)
Joe Neville: Is there a risk it is currently happening right now?
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (8 Jul 2025)
Joe Neville: It is a complex issue because we do not have the power to pull those levers that other, larger countries in Europe might have. As a smaller county, we do not necessarily have that influence. How do we make those changes to our economy to adjust for not having that power? If we were Germany, it might be a very different situation.
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (8 Jul 2025)
Joe Neville: The reality of that same situation is that it is very hard to sit on massive budget surpluses every year and tell the public that. It is a tricky and complex one.
- Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (8 Jul 2025)
Joe Neville: I get it. This is not a question, but I will leave on the point that it is very hard to make those decisions in light of how it is set up, that being, the revenue we are getting and from whom we are getting it. How do we stop that and how do we make a budget surplus and put the money away in a rainy day fund when the political realities mean it is harder to do that type of thing?
