Gerald Nash: In the interests of the expeditious processing of the meeting and our business, I am happy to comply with that. The currently approved prospectus will expire in September. Deputy Brennan raised some questions about the process. While I would have liked to explore them in some more detail, I will limit my questions and observations. Typically, it seems it takes a number of weeks for the...

Finance (Local Property Tax and Other Provisions) (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (17 Jun 2025)

Gerald Nash: The Labour Party will amend the Bill on Committee Stage. I can assure the House that we will not amend it on the basis that we want to see what is a modest charge on properties abolished.
