I believe that if...

Ceisteanna - Questions: National Risk Assessment (22 Feb 2023)

Thomas Gould: The draft national risk assessment expects inflation to remain elevated and anticipates a very gradual easing of inflation rates over the course of 2023. It then uses the energy-linked inflation to warn against a wage-price spiral emerging as the economy approaches full employment. This is a limited argument that ignores the fact early warnings of a wage-price spiral have not materialised,...

Housing and Evictions: Motion [Private Members] (21 Feb 2023)

Thomas Gould: I agree with my colleagues that this eviction ban has to be extended. This is a humanitarian crisis and a national emergency. The senior Minister came into the House a while ago, attacked the Opposition, attacked Deputy Ó Broin, and attacked us all. He answered no questions, ran out the door and left the Minister of State here, as happens every time we have a discussion on housing....
