- Public Accounts Committee: Greyhound Racing Ireland: Financial Statements 2021 (10 Nov 2022)
Matt Carthy: Okay. This is a unique situation. Does Mr. Nyhan understand how it makes no sense to say his organisation sought a certain amount, got less and is taking it on the chin?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticulture Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Nov 2022)
Matt Carthy: In the first instance I thank the Minister of State and her officials for being here.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Impact of Peat Shortages on the Horticulture Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Nov 2022)
Matt Carthy: The Minister of State is coming in here and taking the flak for something that by her own admission crosses three Departments.
