Central Bank (Individual Accountability Framework) Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (19 Oct 2022)

Gerald Nash: This is a good but long overdue day. Several years after the Central Bank recommended that our laws be amended to make individual decision-makers and financial institutions responsible for their actions, we finally have a Bill before us to make it a reality.

It is worth remembering that, even with the expenditure of...

Social and Affordable Housing Supply: Motion [Private Members] (26 Oct 2022)

Gerald Nash: The facts are clear. One year on from the publication of Housing for All, the Government's signature plan is failing and failing abjectly.
