Financial Resolution 2021 - Financial Resolution: Stamp Duties (19 May 2021)

Gerald Nash: Cuckoo funds have mutated and the shot that the Minister has administered will not succeed in stopping them in their tracks.

Covid-19 Vaccine Roll-out: Statements (27 May 2021)

Gerald Nash: I welcome the fact that the Minister has put on record that half of all adults in this country will have received a vaccination by the end of this week. However, as the previous contributor said, vaccinations in Louth and Meath have been something of a postcode lottery.
