Electoral Reform Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (15 Jun 2022)

Gerald Nash: This is not some kind of a performative routine from Opposition parties that have decided that we do not like this and we will ritually condemn it because it happens to be an amendment from a Government party and that is what we do. I am genuinely horrified that a measure such as this has been proposed at the last minute, without having been properly signalled to the Dáil, and without...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Jun 2022)

Gerald Nash: This is nothing but a good old style Fianna Fáil political stroke. It is political reform Fianna Fáil style. It is disgraceful. We were told through the media, by a spokesperson from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, that this measure was agreed by Cabinet on 24 May. We had a Dáil select committee meeting two weeks ago. This measure could have been...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (14 Jun 2022)

Gerald Nash: Some of them are technical and inconsequential. Having just 90 minutes to debate something of this import is disgraceful. It is a poor reflection on the Government parties, which are railroading an important issue through the Dáil with minimal scrutiny.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Cost of Living Issues (2 Jun 2022)

Gerald Nash: The Minister's response will be cold comfort to struggling families across the country. We need political leadership on this. The best way the energy companies can help consumers is by Government slapping a windfall tax on the hyper-normal profits of energy companies. It is perverse that there is evidence of massive profit-taking going on at this time when customers are really struggling...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Cost of Living Issues (2 Jun 2022)

Gerald Nash: Has the Minister ruled out a windfall tax in his discussions with the Minister for Finance? Deputy Ryan is the Minister with responsibility for energy.

That was derived from borrowing and tax revenue. The ESB,...
