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

Gerald Nash: Some 20% of kids, one in five children in this country, have to go without a new winter coat this year, yet more was written over the summer about the tax implications for a tiny number of families who stand to inherit businesses than how a party that promised two years ago to fix child poverty might consign that scandal to history. The Minister, Deputy Burke, spent most of the spring and...

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.

We have the highest number of people ever at work, yet one in five of these workers subsists on...

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

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...

Ireland has a chronic infrastructural deficit....

Companies (Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Regulatory Provisions) Bill 2024: Second Stage (25 Sep 2024)

Gerald Nash: The Labour Party is happy to support the Bill. I will not use my full 20 minutes. It took three Sinn Féin members to use 20 minutes.
