Industrial Relations (Amendment) (No.3) Bill 2011: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Jan 2012)

Gerald Nash: I welcome the opportunity to discuss this legislation. It is very timely.

The...

European Summit: Motion (8 Dec 2011)

Gerald Nash: We all agree that stability in the euro area is vital to Irish economic and social interests. The insidious instability we have witnessed in the past two to three years, compounded by gross inaction and a slow creep from one crisis to the next, is politically very destabilising and socially damaging. There has been an excessive focus on the primacy of the markets, to the detriment of any...
