National Minimum Wage: Motion [Private Members] (9 Feb 2022)

Mattie McGrath: We have to get real here. Deputy Damien English, a junior Minister, is present, but we have no interest in the working poor, the small farmer and the so-called "daoine beaga" - I do not mean in stature - or ordinary humble people of Ireland. "Let them eat cake" - if she was here now - is the attitude of the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste. Globalists is what they are, looking after big...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Overcrowding (9 Feb 2022)

Mattie McGrath: The audacity of Mr. Watt and indeed the Minister for Health to go to Dubai to look at best practices during Covid speaks for itself and shows how out of touch they are. My good friend and the Minister of State's former colleague, the former Minister of State, Máire Hoctor, did her very best to keep Nenagh accident and emergency department open. She was hounded out of office by...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Overcrowding (9 Feb 2022)

Mattie McGrath: I will add my voice to this on behalf of the three rural Independents who are up the midlands, where we are. The problem is historic. The new 96-bed unit is supposed to be there. That sod was turned by the then Minister, Mary Harney, 20 bliain ó shin. The HSE is a failure. It has badly failed Limerick people and the people of north Tipperary. I salute Independent councillor...

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

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 Feb 2022)

Mattie McGrath: Taoiseach, it is you that is being dishonest with the people and they know it. When was the last time he pulled up at a filling station and filled his own car? He has a driver. He had one when he was leader of Fianna Fáil and he has State drivers now and everything else. He is out of touch completely. I asked the Taoiseach to do an immediate reversal of the carbon tax as well as an...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (8 Feb 2022)

The carbon tax is the key contributing factor, with the cost of motor fuels up more than 22.6% and the cost of home heating oil...
