Reversal of Planned Fuel Price Increases: Motion [Private Members] (26 Sep 2023)

Gerald Nash: I detect an effort to hide this and to avoid calling it what it is because the proposers know fine well, as does everybody, that Sinn Féin has a very dubious record on, and a dubious commitment to, climate action and what needs to be done to decarbonise our society. Sinn Féin is opposed to any form of carbon tax and the party should just be honest about that and stop squirming and...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Pre-Budget Engagement (Resumed): Irish Fiscal Advisory Council and Nevin Economic Research Institute (20 Sep 2023)

Gerald Nash: The Central Bank said yesterday that the Government's stance is likely to be expansionary. Would IFAC agree with that in the first instance?

Gerald Nash: There has been an effort to explain it as the impact of inflation across society. We know from experience and, more importantly, from data, who is most adversely impacted by high prices and inflation. It is rural dwellers, lone parents, and those on fixed and low incomes.
