- Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (17 Dec 2022)
Mattie McGrath: It is funny all right. Why is the Young Global Leaders an organisation that sets out to take and to destroy our sovereignty as well as the sovereignty of other countries? Can Deputy Varadkar explain to the Irish people how his position of Taoiseach will endure and how it does not present a conflict of interest? I believe it does. The Irish people and individuals are very worried about...
- Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (17 Dec 2022)
Mattie McGrath: Ar an chéad dul síos, I would like to wish the Leas-Cheann Comhairle and every Member of this House a happy, holy and peaceful Christmas. I am reminded of a late evening and we were all down in the Round Room or somewhere. This is more like “Lanagan’s Ball” – I stepped out and you stepped in again and I stepped out and we had Lanagan’s Ball....
- Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (17 Dec 2022)
Mattie McGrath: Could I get some silence? He has written and spoken openly about what he calls “the great reset”. He describes it as an opportunity to reset our world to create a healthier and more equitable and prosperous Europe and future. This sounds fantastic initially, but on closer examination of this cabal, as I call it, it is strange. One of his most famous quotes from 2016 gives us...

- Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (17 Dec 2022)
Mattie McGrath: There are certain things that we cannot discuss in this Chamber anymore because one is shouted down. As I said, we have several books from Mr. Schwab of the WEF and I will quote again from him. In 2016, he said: What we are very proud of now is that the young generation, like Prime Minister Trudeau and the president of Argentina and so on, is that we penetrated the cabinets. Yesterday, I...
- Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (17 Dec 2022)
Mattie McGrath: They are one in the same. As I said, “I stepped out and you stepped in again.” It is on the Government website now if anyone wants to look it up. The website is being touted as the WEF's young global leaders. Can Deputy Varadkar explain to me and to the people of Ireland - even if Members here do not want to hear it - why the Young Global Leaders organisation is looking to...
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (15 Dec 2022)
Mattie McGrath: Earlier, the Tánaiste spoke about the Garda Síochána and the great job they do. I support that and we must all support the Garda. However, the Dickensian condition of Clonmel Garda station has been raised in this House for the last 40 years, if not more. It is not fit for purpose. The Department of Justice has been playing games. It was bundled as a group with two other...

I wish a speedy recover to Shane Kearney and the others who were injured and traumatised by what I understand was a very hostile situation and serious incident. Irish peacekeepers are recognised all over the world. I visited Lebanon with Deputy Noel...
