Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Corporate Social Responsibility Stakeholder Forum: Discussion (15 Oct 2019)

Tom Neville: My questions are similar to Deputy Troy's on SMEs, in particular in rural areas. I do not know how the witnesses manage their work in regard to SMEs versus multinationals. They probably gave an answer while I was not here, for which I apologise. There should not be pressure on the companies in rural Ireland run by one or two people. Unknown to them, subliminally and organically, they...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Corporate Social Responsibility Stakeholder Forum: Discussion (15 Oct 2019)

Tom Neville: I worked in recruitment for a number of years. In the same vein as Deputies Chambers' question, I want to ask about covert discrimination against older people in the workforce, which has been rife for the past 20 years, in my experience. It is not just an Irish but a global problem. What does Ms Heaney think? About 18 months to two years ago the Government introduced an initiative for...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Corporate Social Responsibility Stakeholder Forum: Discussion (15 Oct 2019)

Tom Neville: I recruited from everywhere, from SMEs to multinationals. I recruited across the globe, into Asia, Australia and the United States and the discrimination experienced was the same everywhere. I am flagging it as something at which the forum should look.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Corporate Social Responsibility Stakeholder Forum: Discussion (15 Oct 2019)

Tom Neville: I wish to follow on from what the Chairman said. From my research on the subject, we are missing the boat completely in gaining a commercial advantage by using older people who have all of this knowledge. When they walk out the door, it is all gone when it could be harnessed and propel the commercial capacity of a company to earn more profits, while there would, obviously, also be a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

Tom Neville: We have been given a great deal of information, but I will try to be brief. I can read through the submissions in my own time. My first question is for the National Office for Suicide Prevention. I read in the office's 2018 report, which was provided to the committee three or four weeks ago, the suicide statistics from 2008 to 2018. The highest figure was 579 in 2011 whereas the figure...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

Tom Neville: I welcome that. My question is whether there is a two-way feedback on what the groups see and the data they collect. I do not mean to be so black and white about it because behind every statistic is a person. Are the data the groups collect fed back to the NOSP? Is there any formal communication process between the NOSP and the groups nationally in terms of the intelligence they are...
