Water Services (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (9 Nov 2022)

Mattie McGrath: I, too, support Deputy Ó Broin's amendment. Not that I have fundamental hang-ups about referendums.

Mattie McGrath: The small towns and villages growth programme Irish Water plans to develop is in a chaotic state in Tipperary.

Long Covid Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (9 Nov 2022)

Mattie McGrath: I compliment the Regional Group for tabling the motion. Many people are suffering from long Covid and they have a diagnosis after great cost to themselves and great energy spent, even though they have very little energy to try to get a diagnosis. It seems a blanket has been put over Covid and we cannot discuss it or debate it. One narrative has had to apply all of the time. People are...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Nov 2022)

Mattie McGrath: I raise the urgent case of a 14-year-old child in Tipperary with severe additional needs and the absolute neglect he and his family are receiving at the hands of the HSE. Despite having severe needs, being an acute priority and requiring, at a minimum, weekly respite, the child has received just three hours of respite since last May and just one overnight stay. It is appalling. The...
