- European Union Migration and Asylum Pact: Motion [Private Members] (1 May 2024)
Mattie McGrath: ...burning of any building or any arson attempt. A burnt building is no good to anybody. I did not see any places on fire but I am just saying that there were heavy-handed tactics. The community gardaí have to go back to the location today to pick up the pieces. I praise the community gardaí in all our communities, including in Tipperary, for the work they do. They are...
