Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (26 Sep 2024)

Gerald Nash: In five day's time we will have the annual budget. True to form, most of the major announcements will be leaked over the weekend. The State is in an unprecedented situation. Billions are available to invest yet there is a poverty of ambition and no vision. We live in a rich country that feels so poor. It is a country of winners and losers. Ireland has a chronic infrastructural deficit....

Gerald Nash: I thank the Tánaiste. I disagree with him. The problem is a lack of ambition and a lack of vision. That has been the consistent pattern here from what I describe as a very conservative coalition. Ireland is a rich country, but the Government presides over on that continues to feel poor. I want to put one key question to the Tánaiste on the status of the residential zoned...

Financial Resolutions 2024 - Budget Statement 2025 (1 Oct 2024)

Gerald Nash: I will share time with Deputy Duncan Smith. The Ireland of 2024 is a country of winners and losers. It is a country of contrasts and contradictions. It is a paradox of plenty, if ever there was one. We have record corporation tax receipts and record numbers of our citizens without a home. We have the highest number of people ever at work, yet one in five of these workers subsists on...

The Minister, Deputy Burke, spent most of the spring and...
