Planning and Development (Amendment) (Large-scale Residential Development) Bill 2021 [Seanad]: Second Stage (25 Nov 2021)

Gerald Nash: Like my colleague the Labour Party housing spokesperson, Senator Moynihan, I want to give this Bill a cautious but qualified welcome. Any initiative designed to expedite the development of much-needed homes across the country, especially in urban areas where demand is high, is welcome. We would all agree on that. The theory was that the SHD legislation passed by the previous Oireachtas was...

Gerald Nash: Including the wealthy people.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2021: Committee Stage (16 Nov 2021)

Gerald Nash: This is not the kind of discussion I thought we would have today, but it is useful and something we should probably take elsewhere. The discussion will continue because it is a necessary debate to have. We want to achieve the same things as Deputy Boyd Barrett, but we want to start from a different departure point. That would be fair to say. I never like to describe tax as a burden. That...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2021: Committee Stage (16 Nov 2021)

Gerald Nash: Whatever justification there may have been for SARP at a different point in our economic cycle, I am not certain of the rationale for the scheme at the moment. I understand where both Deputies are coming from. I will speak to the section relating to the working from home relief. It is good to see there is now the real-time opportunity to post receipts and make that claim. That makes it...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2021: Committee Stage (16 Nov 2021)

Gerald Nash: I will be brief then. The amendment is reasonably self-explanatory. It has to do with providing tax credits or reliefs for many of those who are paying for levies in terms of defects identified in their apartments. These apartments would have been built during the so-called boom time period when regulation of the industry was not particularly sound, to put it mildly. We have a situation...

Houses of the Oireachtas Commission (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (30 Nov 2021)

Gerald Nash: I am pleased we are having this debate. It is more than timely. To the best of my recollection, although I have not checked the transcripts of the debate on the previous Bill, we did not have this conversation three years ago. That is unfortunate. It is a conversation we should have had in this Chamber, but it appears we did not. The fact we are doing so now is illustrative of the degree...

Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (1 Dec 2021)

Gerald Nash: Is this to do with the nature of our shoreline? The Irish seabed drops off quite significantly. It would be useful if the Minister of State put on the record of the House his considerations regarding Deputy Boyd Barrett’s amendment. Much of the time, I find myself going two thirds of the way with Deputy Boyd Barrett. That is probably illustrative of how broad the left spectrum is....

Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (1 Dec 2021)
