Planning and Development (Amendment) (20 per cent Provision of Social and Affordable Housing) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (21 Sep 2021)

Gerald Nash: ...further down the line, the provisions were then watered down by one of Mr. Dempsey's ministerial successors, Mr. Martin Cullen. In my view, Mr. Cullen butchered Part V when he enabled developers to donate land elsewhere or pay an equivalent sum to the local authority. There was no longer a requirement to build physical units. Part V was full of holes and there were so many get-out...

Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Second Stage (15 Sep 2021)

Gerald Nash: ...development consent process for activities in the maritime area, including offshore renewable projects. As has been said many times in this debate, our sea area is seven times the size of our land mass. As an island nation with one of the largest seabed territories in Europe, this Bill will be essential in shaping the future of marine areas and developing a spatial strategy for that...

Finance (Covid-19 and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages (7 Jul 2021)

Gerald Nash: ...at this time. We are doing that because we have had five wasted years during which sufficient numbers of affordable homes were not built and sufficient numbers of public homes were not built on public lands and made available for those who need them. The Taoiseach, in his defence of this proposition yesterday and today, defended long-term leasing arrangements. What he was defending,...

Acquisition of Development Land (Assessment of Compensation) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (16 Jun 2021)

Gerald Nash: ...which would like us to air-brush its recent horrific past. Sinn Féin is completely untested in this jurisdiction but where it is tested the youth homelessness statistics speak for themselves. Northern Ireland is no utopia when it comes to the housing issue. Sinn Féin cannot say one thing in Dundalk and do an entirely different thing in Derry. That is partitionism par...

National Recovery and Resilience Plan: Statements (2 Jun 2021)

Gerald Nash: ...the EU's recovery and resilience fund. It is a sad commentary on how we do business that Deputies from across the political spectrum represented in this House did not have an opportunity to debate Ireland's pitch to the EU on the recovery and resilience package in advance of the Government's submission to the Commission. At this crossroads for our economy and society, as we prepare to...

Residential Property Market: Motion [Private Members] (11 May 2021)

Gerald Nash: ...in an ideological cul-de-sac and it now has a Fianna Fáil Minister cornered and captured. This is truly no country for young people. Is it any wonder that REITs and IREFs have declared open season on Ireland? These faceless monster investment funds have it every way. They are hoovering up everything in sight and are now outbidding would-be first-time buyers in areas such as my...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (6 May 2021)

Gerald Nash: ...see. Shamefully, there is a cadre of ignorant, anti-science and unenlightened representatives in this Parliament who refuse to see what the rest of us can. They lay claim to representing rural Ireland and to having some unique insight into the ways of our countryside and rural communities. The ignorance which has often been displayed does rural Ireland and the decent people they claim...

Covid-19: Statements (24 Nov 2020)

Gerald Nash: Since Covid-19 landed on our shores nine months ago, we have been living in a type of suspended animation.

On behalf of the Labour Party, I express solidarity with all of those who have been impacted by Covid-19, especially those who will have a loved one missing from...

Finance Bill 2020: Second Stage (4 Nov 2020)

Gerald Nash: ...flagged or planned. The opportunity to use this public health crisis and the unprecedented financing opportunities that are available at this time to create a better, fairer and more socially democratic Ireland has been missed. There is little sign in the Bill of a new direction for Ireland or what we might term a new social contract for the emergence of a different, more egalitarian,...

Financial Resolutions 2020 - Budget Statement 2021 (13 Oct 2020)

Gerald Nash: We have known deadly disease on our island before. In the 1800s, the Great Hunger saw millions emigrate or die of famine, diphtheria, cholera, fever and smallpox. In the last century, TB or consumption destroyed thousands of lives. It may be folk memory now, but its legacy lingers on. It took the vision of a socialist, Deputy Noël Browne, to deliver the infrastructure and the drive...
