Estimates for Public Services 2020 (Resumed) (9 Jul 2020)

Neale Richmond: ...portfolios. There is quite a bit in the Estimates we can discuss but I would like to address one specific area.

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Early Childhood Care and Education (4 Dec 2019)

Neale Richmond: ...portal. This can be frustrating when someone only has half an hour or 45 minutes in the day and there is a deadline, albeit extended.

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Garda Vetting of Personnel (20 Oct 2016)

Neale Richmond: ...not excuse the fact the current system is not fit for purpose. When I brought this up before the summer recess with the Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath, he assured me the waiting time for Garda vetting was down to just five weeks. I have had dozens of cases brought to the attention of my office where it is clearly well beyond five weeks. A number of applications that were made...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Garda Vetting Applications (22 Jun 2016)

Neale Richmond: ...is slightly disappointing for obvious reasons. Part of the point I raised has been missed. I queried the all-in timeframe of the process, not just the amount of time an application rests with the Garda or the body to which the vetting process has been outsourced.
