Vote 25 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (26 Jun 2014)

Gerald Nash: I have a related point. I am keen to know the level of pay for polling clerks and staff. This is something the Department should be in a position to answer. What is the cost to a local authority of losing those staff? Generally speaking, there would be counts or elections on days when local authorities are open and supposed to be fully functioning. Inevitably there will be costs...

Topical Issue Debate: Further Education and Training Programmes Provision (2 Jul 2014)

Gerald Nash: Before I address the issue at hand I wish to pay tribute my friend, mentor and colleague, the Minister for Education and Skills, Deputy Ruairí Quinn. I would not be in this Chamber today if it were not for the constant support, guidance and example of the Minister who announced today that he will shortly exit the Government benches and leave the political stage. He is a Titan of the...

Topical Issue Debate: Further Education and Training Programmes Provision (2 Jul 2014)

Free Travel Pass: Motion [Private Members] (8 Jul 2014)

Gerald Nash: I am glad of the opportunity to respond to this deeply cynical and opportunistic motion this evening. The fact that Fianna Fáil chose to place a motion of this nature before the House smacks of a party desperately in search of an issue. Deputy O'Dea and his colleagues are doing their utmost as the Tánaiste suggested to sow doubt and confusion in the public mind on the future of a...

Free Travel Pass: Motion [Private Members] (8 Jul 2014)

Gerald Nash: This is a scheme we have managed to protect and secure over three consecutive budgets in the teeth of the most dramatic and catastrophic collapse in its public finances that the State has ever seen. That collapse was precipitated by Deputy O'Dea's own party. Given Fianna Fáil's track record in beggaring the country, the people who depend on the free travel scheme will not accept Deputy...

Free Travel Pass: Motion [Private Members] (8 Jul 2014)

Gerald Nash: It is pathetic. I am sure Sinn Féin Members will be here later to support Deputy O'Dea's motion without any expression of shame or guilt from them at the niggardly social welfare rates and supports they preside over in the North by comparison with the system we have built up in the State over the years. In fairness, Deputy O'Dea's party has supported that system. The day that Sinn...

Free Travel Pass: Motion [Private Members] (8 Jul 2014)

Free Travel Pass: Motion [Private Members] (8 Jul 2014)

Gerald Nash: Fianna Fáil Party Members would be better served by changing the habit of a lifetime and behaving more responsibly.

Free Travel Pass: Motion [Private Members] (8 Jul 2014)

Gerald Nash: While they are at that, they should offer an apology to older people for tabling this crass, cynical and, dare I say it, unnecessary motion, given what the Minister has said on the public record this evening.
