- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Engagement with the Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment (3 Jul 2024)
Matt Shanahan: The population of Waterford is 2.5% of the national population and the population of the south east is approximately 10%.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Engagement with the Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment (3 Jul 2024)
Matt Shanahan: That is potentially 200 jobs to Waterford over the next three years. We have not had major FDI investment in Waterford since West Pharma eight or nine years ago.

Matt Shanahan: Going back to the point of the State taking proper capital investment, it is a really missed opportunity. We only need to look at Corrib gas and see where it was held up, and at what we did with oil 30 years ago with licensing and the pittance that we go out of that.

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Jul 2024)
Matt Shanahan: As the Taoiseach and the Government contemplate the budget, which one way or another will be the last budget before we all face the people, I ask him again to attend to the parts of the country left behind. Reflecting on the French election, which has a kernel of learning for us in Ireland, like Macron's coalition of the centre ground, since 2016, we have effectively had the traditional...
