Future Ireland Fund and Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund Bill 2024: Second Stage (10 Apr 2024)

Gerald Nash: ...the decision on the €3.15 billion? Why was this figure decided before we knew what the review of the outdated 2018 adaptation plan, which is what it is based on, has to say? Why has the Government decided that the fund cannot be tapped until 2026 when the urgent demand for additional investment in mitigation measures is now? Ireland and the world simply cannot wait until 2026....

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Impact of Climate on Public Finances: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (28 Feb 2024)

Gerald Nash: ...deficiencies we have with planning out to 2030 and what is an under resourced national development plan, is it not quite extraordinary that as far as Government is concerned this fund is not capable of being tapped into until 2026? Nobody has given me a sufficient explanation as to why that is the case given that the emergency is now. We have had these discussions routinely with...

Adaption Grants for Older People and People with a Disability: Motion [Private Members] (1 Jun 2022)

Gerald Nash: ...cash-strapped at the moment. There is a strong argument for the HSE to make a contribution, especially for those who have health issues. There are underspends in the HSE capital budget. The Minister might tap his colleague, the Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, on the shoulder, and ask if he will make a contribution to the more effective running of this scheme.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Post-Budget Analysis: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (8 Dec 2020)

Gerald Nash: ...we need to support the public services we demand and on which any modern, decent society should insist? Does he believe, for example, that wealth taxes have a role to play?

Does he have a view on the evolution, for example, of property taxes in this country? We...

Seanad: Commencement Matters (Resumed): Schools Building Projects (24 Nov 2016)

Gerald Nash: ...health and safety risks. There is no hot water in the bathroom for children to wash their hands after using the toilets. The cold water is far too cold for people to safety put their hands under the tap. To put it bluntly, the school should probably be condemned. It is long past time that the new building was commenced and that the Department indicated a timeline for the commencement...

Seanad: Irish Water: Motion (13 Jan 2016)

Gerald Nash: ...Castlerea, for example, boiling water before use was a regular daily occurrence from November 2009 to June 2013. I am pleased to report that last year, 17,300 people in Roscommon no longer had to boil water coming out of their taps. This is real progress making a difference to people's lives; progress in which Irish Water's expertise and work has been instrumental. The number of people...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Volunteering and Community Development: Volunteer Ireland (24 Jun 2014)

Gerald Nash: .... Cotterell's reference to the enterprise in Dromiskin in county Louth that an audit of talent and skills in the community was undertaken and that the centre now has a talent bank into which it can tap. Members might be interested in him elaborating on how the centre would go about doing that because there is a gap across the country in terms of communities having that sort of knowledge....

Water and Sewerage Services (16 Jun 2011)

Gerald Nash: ...State owned water utility that is managed and delivered under democratic control. Sinn Féin would have us believe the rains that fall on the Cooley mountains can be brought free of charge to the tap if it happens to flow south but must be paid for if it flows north. The only difference between that party's policies and the Labour Party's approach to water charges is that we are being...
