Gerald Nash: Just to clarify, this is Committee Stage and we will also have Report Stage.

Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman (Amendment) Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Mar 2025)

Gerald Nash: I understand. We will be dealing with other finance-related Bills over the coming months. It is not unusual for an amendment that is not directly related to the subject matter of a Bill to be accommodated. This might be done in respect of the issue that is exercising me and Deputy Doherty. Deputy O'Callaghan has also spoken about it. This is not the first time I have raised this. We...

Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman (Amendment) Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (5 Mar 2025)

It seems to me there is a particularly broad definition captured in the amendment. If that is the case, it is very welcome. There was a very wide lacuna in the legislation that was identified quite some...

Gerald Nash: I, too, thank the Independent Group-----

Waste in Public Expenditure: Motion [Private Members] (5 Mar 2025)

Gerald Nash: -----for tabling this motion. It is not appropriate that we merely have discussions on Government expenditure occasionally when an Opposition group tables a motion. This matter must concern us all the time if we as a Parliament are doing our job responsibly and effectively.
