Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (14 Dec 2022)

Mattie McGrath: At the end of September 2022, there were 16,158 children waiting for initial contact from disability services, with 8,870 of them waiting for over 12 months for that initial contact. Last week, a child presented to Tipperary University Hospital with mental health difficulties. That child waited for a paediatric psychiatrist for 50 hours in the paediatric ward. That is shocking. All the...

Nationalisation of Energy System: Motion [Private Members] (14 Dec 2022)

Mattie McGrath: They want more taxes on everything. They wanted zero Covid and zero everything and a freebie for everybody. That is not possible in this country. Then they want to shut down debate on other issues that do not suit them in here, like what happened to me yesterday when I was speaking. I was shouted down and called a disgrace, the same as today. I am elected by the people of Tipperary...

Nationalisation of Energy System: Motion [Private Members] (14 Dec 2022)

Mattie McGrath: I compliment Solidarity-People Before Profit for putting down this motion for debate. I am unsure as to what different acronyms this group uses but I believe we should consider this motion, as a person who was never in favour of nationalisation. We must, however, consider it here because of the ineptitude of several Governments. Ar an gcéad dul síos I wish the Minister, Deputy...

Mattie McGrath: All Baile Átha Cliath.

Confidence in Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Motion (13 Dec 2022)

Mattie McGrath: The Minister must have also lost my telephone number, but that is okay. There are 3,500 people waiting on the housing list in County Tipperary. We have many homeless. We have agencies and people. We have direct build, modular build housing and everything else now for people fleeing the Ukraine war. I do not oppose that, but we cannot do it for our own people. Someone said earlier...

Eamon's house, where he looked after us well. I too want to say what a...

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (13 Dec 2022)

Mattie McGrath: The Taoiseach is aware of who Cara Darmody is. Cara is here in today in the Gallery with her dad, Mark. She is directly in front of the Taoiseach so he might give her a wave. She is the most high-profile autism advocate in Ireland today. She recently sat the junior cycle maths exam at only 11 years of age to raise awareness for the lack of therapies and assessments for autistic children....

Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (13 Dec 2022)

Mattie McGrath: She is a very special national advocate. They raised so much money and not a penny of it has gone towards themselves, but it is so that other people can get services. Surely this must be corrected. On the Taoiseach’s last day in office, I hope that he will give a reasonable response that the Government will do something for these people who so badly needs to be recognised and supported.
