Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Court of Auditors: Discussion (23 Nov 2022)

Neale Richmond: I warmly congratulate Mr. Murphy on his elevation. It is a victory not just for him personally but for his entire team and the country as a whole.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: European Court of Auditors: Discussion (23 Nov 2022)

Neale Richmond: I had a question in regard to Brexit, not the adjustment reserve fund, but in terms of the balance of payments from the UK.

Report of Committee of Selection: Motion: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (22 Nov 2022)
