Child Poverty and Homelessness: Motion [Private Members] (24 Sep 2025)

Gerald Nash: There is a truism that abounds around this place at this time every year as we approach the budget. It goes something like "Show me your budget and I will show you my priorities". This is especially true of a budget that takes place at the start of a Government's term. We do not know a huge amount about the complexion of the budget that will be introduced on 7 October. However, we know...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget 2026 Engagement (Resumed) (24 Sep 2025)

Gerald Nash: I have a question for the Minister, Deputy Chambers. He published the medium-term framework less than two weeks ago, which was subject to some considerable criticism - validly in my own opinion - because it did not contain, as we might have expected, departmental expenditure ceilings for the next period. Can I assume the next medium-term plan the Minister is obliged to publish will be...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget 2026 Engagement (Resumed) (24 Sep 2025)

Gerald Nash: I thank the Minister. In the limited time I have available, this is a question to the Minister, Deputy Donohoe. IFAC is on record as forecasting that with the full extent, if it can be described as such, or full effect of pillar 2 of the BEPS process coming into effect next year, the State stands to generate potentially €5 billion in additional corporation tax revenue. Is that a...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Sep 2025)

Gerald Nash: In less than a fortnight the budget will be announced. There is growing concern among commentators and experts that we are in a situation where spending is out of control and frankly, they are right. There is a certain faint whiff of 2008 around the place. The budgetary oversight committee has heard warnings from the ESRI, IFAC, the Central Bank and me that we cannot keep spending and...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Sep 2025)

Gerald Nash: I thank the Minister for his response, which was interesting from a number of perspectives. The Labour Party always makes the case for additional public spending, whether that is to meet the needs of demographic changes or existing levels of service. We do that transparently, especially when we are looking at the new investments we need to make our economy work and our society fairer. We...
