- Finance Bill 2023: Financial Resolution (18 Apr 2023)
Gerald Nash: Mrs. Murphy is rarely wrong, in all of our experience. Deputy Healy-Rae is right.

Gerald Nash: ...crisis and inflation is high. One of the perverse things is that when inflation is high and goods and services are more expensive, the Exchequer is laughing all the way to the bank with increased VAT returns.

Gerald Nash: ..., when these once-off measures are gone, they are gone. In early January, when the sugar rush wears off, budget 2023 proper will reveal itself to be what I and independent commentators know it to be, a conservative budget.
