Mattie McGrath: I hope the Acting Chairman, Deputy Tom Hayes, will give me some latitude and not be too hard on me. He and I, together with our Tipperary colleagues, are now serving a united constituency and must all stick together.

- Criminal Justice (Withholding of Information on Offences Against Children and Vulnerable Persons) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (26 Jun 2012)
Mattie McGrath: The revision of the constituency has nothing to do this. The Deputy is as concerned about that as I am. I am interested in restorative justice. The Bill lists at Schedule 1 the specific offences which must be reported, in particular offences against children and vulnerable persons. I believe in restorative justice. I take this opportunity to compliment the Garda SÃochána, in particular...

Mattie McGrath: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for allowing Deputy Healy and myself to raise this matter today. I do not mean any disrespect to Minister of State, Deputy O'Dowd either but it is downright shameful that neither the Minister nor a Minister of State is here to answer this matter. We will get the a standard answer that we always get and that is not good enough. Deputy Healy referred to the more...
- Hospital Accommodation (27 Jun 2012)
Mattie McGrath: We know that.
- Hospital Accommodation (27 Jun 2012)
Mattie McGrath: I must agree with my colleague. This response is pathetic nonsense. All we get is jargon. The reply states that a number of meetings are held throughout the day between the bed manager, the discharge planner, the director of nursing, the clinical director and hospital management to review matters. When we had the sisters as matrons, there were none of these titles and we had good...
