It is shocking that we can transpose any kind of directive from Europe which relates to the environment or is...

- Home Care Workers and Home Support Scheme: Motion [Private Members] (8 Nov 2023)
Mattie McGrath: The Labour Party, excuse me. Gabh mo leithscéal. It could not be more timely, facing into the winter with the long nights, the loneliness and the isolation, especially for people with disabilities. When I see what goes on in the HSE, I saw a headline this morning that it has hired 800 managers and administration people this year already despite the ban. That is where the problem is....

Mattie McGrath: We welcome that. We will not get back into the tweets and will leave them for another day, but I will get back into realpolitik. The Minister says his Department will not take away housing or shelters, but this is what is happening in Cashel. Officials from the Minister's Department told me they want accommodation and their duty is to get it from wherever, whoever and whatever, so we need...
