Mattie McGrath: The national recruitment campaign has not led to significant improvements in staffing levels in south Tipperary. I also compliment the very hard work and dedicated service all the ambulance services provide across the country. What is difficult is that there are no efforts to recruit locally.

- RTÉ: Statements (28 Feb 2024)
Mattie McGrath: When the Minister gave her speech here today, she said that she wanted RTÉ to be "independent and accountable". We all know they are neither independent nor accountable.
