Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Agriculture Industry (20 May 2025)

Joe Neville: I thank the Minister. I will make sure to bring back to Kildare word that its two Fine Gael Deputies are among the hardest working TDs in the country.

I will make a couple of comments on the...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 May 2025)

Joe Neville: Could the Comptroller and Auditor General add some context regarding the number of statements we are going to see? There were 26 there. Is this everything in the education sector?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 May 2025)

I do not have a specific question but it is something that jumped out to me. ...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 May 2025)

Joe Neville: I thank Mr. McCarthy for going through that. There is a lot of interesting stuff. Just following up on the CEO, it is called a settlement. A settlement would typically indicate that somebody has moved on, but obviously this person was reappointed to a different role within the same group. We know that it is called strategic. Strategic can mean anything; it is very open. Do we know what...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 May 2025)

Joe Neville: When we meet with them, we will be able to go through a job description. When somebody keeps the same salary as the CEO, it would indicate that it should be a very senior role. If it is not, it obviously creates more questions. It is important that Mr. McCarthy has raised it because, as he has said, when it is somebody in a very senior position, it has to be called out and questioned....
