Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Emergency Departments (6 Dec 2022)

Gerald Nash: This is an outrageous situation and simply cannot go ahead. I am disappointed the Minister, Deputy Donnelly is not here and that is no disrespect to the Minister of State. This is an issue that has been on his desk for many months. The reality is that he simply does not have a plan for Drogheda. The Minister of State has seen, heard about and read about the letter from the 16 hospital...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Dec 2022)

Gerald Nash: The impact of the changes the Minister for Health will make to Navan emergency department, ED, or Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda from next Monday will mean that "patients may die".

Drugs Policy: Motion [Private Members] (30 Nov 2022)

Gerald Nash: I am incredibly proud to be a member of a party that has drafted this motion, and to call myself a comrade and a friend of Deputy Ó Ríordáin, who has pioneered reform in this space. It is beyond time that we woke up as a society and as law makers to the stark reality of drugs in our society. We have to face the world as it is, not as we would like our ideal world to be. The...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Employment Permits Bill 2022: Committee Stage (30 Nov 2022)

Gerald Nash: I apologise for being late to the meeting. The provision in this section troubles me, frankly, for a host of reasons. I have dealt routinely over the years with cases of exploitation in areas that I am assuming the Minister wishes to cover under the seasonal employment permit. As I am sure my colleagues mentioned before I arrived, it adds another tier to an already unequal permit system....
